Description Gavin D 2025-10-15 11:06:56 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
Format > Print Ranges > Edit...
Click Shrink icon to the right of "Rows to Repeat"...
Click any row header.

Expected result: The clicked row designation should appear in the Print Range field (eg. $1).

Actual result: The Print Range dialogue loses the focus, but no data is entered.

Workaround: As per the Help, clicking a CELL within the desired row populates the Print Range field with that row's designation. Alternatively, the row designation may be entered manually.

Comment: This inability to identify a row by clicking on its header, deviates from other similar functions and causes unnecessary confusion for the user. The same problem applies to selecting columns when using this tool.

In my case is $1 or $2, depending what row I choose. So, it's ok.
