The visual inclusion in selection appears between 4.4.7.2 and 6.0. However the main issue is already present in 4.4.7.2
Comment 3 Dieter 2021-04-20 07:06:21 UTC
I confirm the described behaviour with

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 807d059d99e7b99fe45a712428befa17ffa44858
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Steps to reproduce
1. open the attached file
2. Clear direct formatting of the empty lines (to make the problem more obvious)
3. Place cursor at line ds before d (so at the start)
3. Select until top (it doesn't matter how you do it)
4. Place cursor in the last line and paste
5. Start typing at the last line -> Direct formatting appears

I'm not sure, if this is the expected behaviour or not, but I also wouldn't expect this.
Comment 4 Dieter 2022-02-18 11:18:14 UTC
(In reply to Dieter from comment #3)

One thing was missing in step 4
 
Steps to reproduce
1. open the attached file
2. Clear direct formatting of the empty lines (to make the problem more obvious)
3. Place cursor at line ds before d (so at the start)
4. Select until top (it doesn't matter how you do it) and copy
5. Place cursor in the last line and paste
6. Start typing at the last line -> Direct formatting appears

Still the same behaviour in

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 95b80365218f9406a5d952c1250d53222d319000
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

For me it still looks like a bug. So I change status to NEW, because there was no further input for 10 months.

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
