Description trvalentine 2011-02-12 10:34:09 UTC
Win XP
LibreOffice 3.3.0
OOO330m19 (Build:6)
tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4

Calc:
1) Merge two or more cells horizontally
2) Select the merged cells
3) Holding the Shift key, use the Right Arrow key to attempt to select additional cells

OR

1) Merge two or more cells vertically
2) Select the merged cells
3) Holding the Shift key, use the Down Arrow key to attempt to select additional cells

Either way, Calc will not expand the selection from the merged cell.

Workaround:
Select the cells in the opposite direction, even if dealing with
several merged cells and beginning in a merged cell.

can confirm the behaviour on Linux.
[Is different from how OOo works, BTW]

Fixed on master, for 3.5.

The change turned out to be bigger than I hoped, as I had to re-work the whole selection expansion code to get this to work correctly.
