Description CubicCigar 2025-02-25 20:54:35 UTC
Description:
Based on the LO Calc documention I would expect the formatting of the selected row to be carried 'up' to all new rows created when executing the 'Insert Rows Above' context menu option.  Instead, the new rows take on the formatting of the row immediately above the new row(s).  I have a simple date table with formatted a column header row containing text formatted as BOLD and data rows immediately below it with unformatted text and numbers.

This behaviour is unaffected by enabling the "Expand formatting" option in Tools > Options > LO Calc > General

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a data table with a single row of column headers.
2. Format the cell contents in the column header with Bold text.
3. Immediately under the header row add any number of data rows using unformatted text/numbers.
4. Select the row holding the first row of data
5. From the context menu select the Insert Rows Above option.
6. Select the leftmost cell of the new data row.
7. Examine the cell formatting of the selected cell.

Actual Results:
Cell contents of inserted rows inherit the format (and row height!) of the row immediately above the new row, not the format of the cells in the row from whence I triggered the Insert Rows Above command.

Expected Results:
That inserted rows (and columns) inherit cell formatting and row heights/column widths) from the row or column selected when the Insert Rows Above or Insert Columns Before command are launched.


Reproducible: Always
