Description sasha.libreoffice 2011-03-14 08:00:43 UTC 
To reproduce it (several variants described):

Start Calc and split window left-right
Select one row and press Ctrl-C. In both parts of window appears flickering line. then press Esc. On left part of window line disappears, but on right part remains. It is wrong. It should disappear in both parts of window.

The same can reproduce with window top-bottom splited and column copy.

Another problems, steps to reproduce: 
remove splitting window and select column.
then split window top-bottom. Move division line several time. Selected column becomes only partially selected.

On window splitted left-right select one row.
then remove splitting. Selected row becomes partially selected.

produced on Mandriva 64 bit and windows XP 32 bit on LibreOffice 3.3.1.2 and 3.3.2.1rc1

Reproduced both.  But this may be a candidate for EasyHack.
Comment 2 Kevin 2011-04-23 17:46:42 UTC 
Reproduced both on Ubuntu 64-bit

LibreOffice 3.3.2

tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2~maverick1

Apparently, the flickering will disappear only on the side that you press escape on.  If it's the right side, the left side will flicker



For the SPLITTING part... if a row is selected, if you drag the split around, the cells being highlighted will be inconsistent.  Only dragging the scrollbar around will refresh the selection:

in 3.6.1 still exist
Comment 4 geoff183 2013-09-09 06:42:06 UTC 
Testing in 4.1.1.2 under Xubuntu 12.10.
Bug 1: Confirmed still happens
Bug 2: Cannot replicate
Bug 3: Confirmed still happens, however the row is still actually selected, it's just visually only partially selected.

I would like to fix this. Working on it now.

adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility.
