Bug 121700 appears to be about Calc.. this being more bug 132952 / bug 132891 (both reported by me and closed; however tend to be rather persistent.. so bring this up again with a slightly different show case)

As the LibO behavior differs from Word. Which still one my preferred benchmarks..
Still find they current behavior less productive. Aligning it with Word equals to me with point fingers to MS for those who might complain. As 90% of the world is familiar with Word. And their choice not being that bad, IMHO 

And doing it differently simply to authentic (and not a simple clone) even when they solution being less optimal kind of silly. We are talking about a text editor :P. 

But that's my take :)
