This is a spin off from "Bug 39137 - Ctrl+D and/or Ctrl+Shift+D has no function" On a.m. WIKIHELP and also in German LOCALHELP I find: Help Text Alt + Up Arrow Decreases the height of current row. Observed LibO Mode: Nothing Observed OOo Compatibility Mode: As described Help Text Alt + Down Arrow Increases the height of current row. Observed LibO Mode: Selection list appears Observed OOo Compatibility Mode: As described CONFIRMED due to results on documentation@global.libreoffice.org Added Kohei to CC for technical details, Sigrid might need details for Documentation I would really like to know how we can get correct help for "OOo compatibility mode". @Sophie: Please feel free to reassign if itβs not your area
FYI, the key binding for Alt - Down arrow is intentional (in the Default key binding). It was Shift-Ctrl-D in 3.3, but has been changed to that in 3.4 and onward. I don't expect that to change in future versions. Sorry about this confusion. In the OOo compatibility key binding mode, Alt - Down arrow should still increase the height of current row.
