Description B.J. Herbison 2014-10-07 11:14:25 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
* Create a new spreadsheet.
* If the Find Bar is not visible press control-F to display the find bar.
* Click outside of the Find Bar area.
* Select All (from the menu, with control-A, or by clicking the select all area left of "A" above "1").
* Press control-F Escape.

Expected:
- All visible cells tinted as selected.

Actual:
- The bottom row or two (depending on operating system and window size) are not tinted.

The selection are is correct (as can be verified by repeating the experiment with text in the boxes and using copy and paste), only the display is incorrect.

The bug occurs with selection areas other than "select all", but "select all" was chosen as a simple way to demonstrate the issue.

Observed on Ubuntu and Windows 7.

Reproduced with various version from LO 4.2.7.1 - 3.5.7.2 under Ubuntu 12.04 x86

Seems it's occured since the feature introduced.
Comment 2 B.J. Herbison 2015-01-08 01:53:08 UTC
I've noticed a variations on this problem. Start with a non-full size window. Select an area only partially displayed (select all, or navigate to a defined region), and then maximize the window.

The visible selection indicator is only the area previously visible. (But again the actual selection is correct.)

Should this be reported in a new bug report, or is it the same problem as this bug report?
