Created attachment 188592 [details] writer document with three tables, of which middle one shows the problem. The Alt+Enter combination pressed when cursor is at the end of a text in a right-bottom cell of a table is expected to add a paragraph below table. This functionality is essential when there are two tables one after another, there is a heading below a table and etc. In all those cases adding a paragraph is critical. There is however one case I know about in which it doesn't work. Steps to reproduce: Correct behavior: 1. Create a table 2x2. 2. Click in right-bottom cell. 3. Press Alt+Enter. 4. Observe that an empty paragraph is added. Correct behavior: 1. Create a table 2x2. 2. Merge all cells in left most column into one cell. 3. Click in right-bottom cell. 4. Press Alt+Enter. 5. Observe that an empty paragraph is added. Incorrect behavior: 1. Create a table 2x2. 2. Merge all cells in **right most** column into one cell. 3. Click in right-bottom cell (which is in fact the only cell in this column now after merging) 4. Press Alt+Enter. 5. Observe that an empty paragraph is NOT added. User level work-around: 1.Click on the right-bottom cell. 2.Right-click and insert a row below. 3.Now You can use Alt-Enter there. 4.Delete inserted row. Code problems suggestion: When I click around at cells I can see in the status bar the cell coordinate like: "Table... B1" and "Table...B2". In all cases when it works, I see "B2" what in this case represents right-bottom coordinate of 2x2 table. In case however of merged cell the coordinate reports **left-top** corner of that merged cell, that is "Table B1". The code which recognizes the Alt+Enter should not base on cell coordinate only, but on cell bottom-right boundary.
Can confirm with: Version: 7.4.3.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 5.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: es-MX (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Moving to New as the bottom comment shows confirmed.
Same in OOo 3.3, so inherited.
