Description: This request might irk purists for whom unitary design is most beautiful. But the goal here is to make the spreadsheet UI behave like a user naturally expects, especially users who have not been goaded by years of use into meeting a programmer's expectations (I think this was Steve Jobs' underlying design philosophy). Currently: as per Actual Results. Requested Change: as per Expected Results. Justification: This arises because a person doing multiple records data entry might avail themselves of copy-paste, for example to paste a date cell then edit to fix it up. The efficient action is to paste a single copied (source) cell into a multi-cell destination range, then edit each cell of the range. The actual multi-cell range selection behaviour facilitates this, preventing a user from changing values outside the range selection (the active cell cycles back to the start of the range when Enter is pressed in the cell at the end of the range). However, people are typically not so efficient. Firstly, it would be better to use a database for data entry, but people tend to use what they know. Hence spreadsheets are reasonable general-purpose tools for data entry. Secondly, most people are not experts until after years of use, and even then edge cases must be learned through trial-and-error because documentation is mostly consulted like a dictionary. It is reasonable for a non-expert to copy a date value and retain it in the Clipboard while entering multiple records, using paste as needed, and expect that pressing Enter after pasting will activate the next cell according to the configured cursor movement option. This expectation is broken when a single cell is pasted. This is an edge case. Sure, user education is the most obvious solution, but this does not scale well. The user's workaround is not exactly low-overhead (14% to 20%) when adding a cursor keystroke to a short sequence like control-V, F2, 2-4 keystrokes to change the day portion of an ISO8601 value, and pressing Enter. This is fine for low-usage cases, but unnecessary tedium when doing data entry in bulk. This looks like a lot of words to scratch an itch, but it boils down to a few lines of code. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check the configuration. Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > General Press Enter to move selection: Down, checked Press Enter to switch to edit mode: unchecked Click OK. 2. Enter a value into A1. The active cell moves down to A2. 3. Activate A1 with the mouse or cursor up key. 4. Press Control-C to copy A1 into the Clipboard buffer. 5. Activate B1 with the mouse or cursor right key. 6. Press Control-V to paste from the Clipboard. B1:B1 now becomes the "selected range" as evidenced by the change of the cell's background shading. NB. English is imprecise. "move cell selection" in the configuration dialog has the meaning of "move cursor" in the programming sense, a different technical meaning than "selection" in the sense that the B1:B1 is the "selected range". 7. Press F2 to edit B1. Change the value, press Enter which leaves edit mode and activates the next cell according to configured "move selection". Actual Results: B1 remains the active cell, and B1:B1 also remains the selected range. When a range is selected, the active cell is confined to that range each time Enter is pressed, so when the end of the range is reached, the active cell cycles back to the beginning of the range. A single-cell range behaves the same as a multi-cell range, so pressing Enter does not activate a different cell at all. This is a very reasonable design from an implementer's perspective, and simple for the user to break out of by pressing a cursor key (which also cancels the current range selection). Expected Results: Cancel the range selection B1:B1. Make B2 the active cell. When the selected range is a single cell, pressing Enter cancels the current range selection and moves the active cell according to the configured selection movement. Note that the terminology of Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > General > "Press Enter to move selection" is not the same meaning of "selection" as in "range selection"/"selected range".
