Description BDF 2020-07-12 15:41:29 UTC
Description:
When you merge cells (eg. A1, B1 and C1) and duplicate them in A2 the cells overlap each other. You have the merged cell which's content covers B2 and C2, but you can also select A2 and C2 on it's own and add content to them.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select multiple cells (eg. A1, B1 and C1) and merge them
2. Select A2 and press Ctrl + D to duplicate the cell

Actual Results:
The existing merged cell is duplicated and overlaps B2 and C2, however you can also still select B2 and C2 and add data to them

Expected Results:
The merge cell (A1 to C1) is duplicated in A2 to C2 and covers the whole area of all three cells. B2 and C2 are not selectable with arrow key or with the mouse


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Cell selection (with arrow keys, mouse works as well) in attached image:
1) Select merged cell A1-C1
2) press right once to get to D1
3) Select the duplicate of the merged cell at A2
4) press right once to get to B2
5) press right once to get to C2

Important NOTE for attached .ods file: Closing and reopening the file seems to clear the bug, so I guess the cell is saved correctly, but displayed wrong. To get the described bug just select A2 and press Ctrl + D.

I confirm the behavior, what you describe is correct. what I don't know if this is a bug or not. Because E and F in my video are still there after unmerge...

I didn't find a place with the description for the right behavior for Ctrl + D.

Dear QA Administrators,

Yes the bug still exists as described and can be reproduced without any big effort in LibreOffice calc

Since the bug is over a year old I most certainly tried this on my Windows machine. I will add another comment when I tested it on Windows. Since the same bug exists on Linux, I expect the bug to still exist in Windows.
