Description davidpbrown 2015-02-03 14:10:07 UTC
This looks to be a simple navigation-selection bug, that only appears after a paste to cell is confirmed immediately beforehand.

Steps:
1. Copy any cell; paste it back; and enter to confirm that.
2. Press SHIFT+Down-Arrow.

Result: The behaviour of the [SHIFT+Down-Arrow] is not as usual; instead of selecting the current cell along with the next below it, the focus jumps up to A2.

Interpretation: It is as if A1 was taken to be the previous focus rather than the true current cell.

I think this is a duplicate of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56098, please if you are not agree reopen it.

I don't see duplicate of 56098. That bug suggested 
>Paste Special options after cut incorrect
>It will be available in LibreOffice 4.0.3.
That was back 2013-04-05

This behaviour in 89079 is not consistent with the normal selection option available from the current cell. The paste operation is complete; it is incidental that a paste operation occurred, just prior to the user then wanting to use the Shift+Down-Arrow to select two cells. 

The only difference now is I see this does occur on all Shift+Arrow keys after a paste operation is completed.

This is not a feature, this is a bug. If that obscure feature is useful, then put it to alt key selection.

Reopening, if only so the devs thoughts on this are made clear for all those in future who stumble over the same oddity.

Maybe duplicate of 47818

Not a duplicate: I confirm the issue is still present in 4.3.7.2-12.fc21. I followed the steps to reproduce provided in comment 0.

Note, "paste it back" means to paste the content over the cell from which it was copied; but the same bug (selection starting at A2) appears wherever I paste the cell.
Comment 5 Cor Nouws 2015-12-27 21:22:38 UTC
Can you please test if there are not more issues with Ctr/Shift + Dwn/Up + Arrow navigations?
I think I see them often after having made a copy from a selection or so.
So it could be a more generic problem?
Thanks!

Pressing Shift+Up arrow, confirms the "Interpretation" statement< in Description: selection jumps until A1.

Dear davidpbrown,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
