When a range of cells is merged, the AutoFill handle (the small square in the bottom-right corner of the selected cell) does not update when the mouse rovers over it. FTR, this is a minor issue I stumbled upon while fixing bug 161234. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a blank Calc document 2) Click any cell in the sheet, f.i. cell B2 3) Hover the mouse over the AutoFill handle; the mouse cursor will change to a cross, which is the expected behavior 4) Now select a range of cells, f.i. B2:B4 5) Right-click and choose "Merge cells" 6) Now hover the mouse over the AutoFill handle 7) Notice that the mouse cursor will NOT change to a cross; it should be a cross This issue appears to be visual only, because if you click the handle and drag it, it will work. The problem is only with updating the mouse cursor.

This was not happening in LO 7.6 and older, so it is only since LO 24.2.

(In reply to ady from comment #2) > It only happens when using the context menu, and in older versions too. I see the same behavior with LO 4.0, from the context menu only. LO 3.3 does not include the "merge" action in the cell's context menu.
