Description meg.e.perine 2025-05-14 23:38:25 UTC
Description:
Normal: select and drag cells with a preview box of the destination of the cells

Currently: not getting any destination preview box

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select a cell or series of cells
2.drag selected cells
3.

Actual Results:
The cells move but there is no preview, meaning I have to carefully track where my cursor is and understand the size of the block of cells with no visual aid.

Expected Results:
Provide a preview box for the destination of selected and dragged cells.


Reproducible: Always

Thank you for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is present in both versions listed below. After selecting one or more cells, only a small square is present under the cursor to identify the upper-leftmost destination cell. No preview is displayed.

Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

This differs from the behavior on the Windows version below where a thick black border is displayed around the destination cell(s).
