             Bug #: 44556
           Summary: EDITING: Undesired Behavior Change in 3.5b2 when
                    Extending a Selection in Calc
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.0 Beta2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: nn.libo at kflog.org


Before 3.5, it was easiliy possible to select all cells of an inserted (empty)
column (between data containing columns) by 
1) selecting the first cell of the empty column, 
2) extending selection to a neigbouring cell (containing data) by pressing
SHIFT+ArrowLeft 
3) pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ArrowDown to extend selection until bottom of data range
and finally 
4) reducing selection to the empty column with SHIFT+ArrowRight

This could be effectively done with only four keystrokes:
1) Hold down SHIFT
2) press ArrowLeft once (and keep holding SHIFT key)
3) press CTRL+ArrowDown once (but still keep holding SHIFT)
4) while SHIFT is still held, press ArrowRight

Now, at least in 3.5beta2, extending selection does not more stop at the end of
the data range in step 3 but encompasses the whole (empty) column. 

Seems like extending a selection takes the origin of the extension as starting
point instead of the actual cell.

Platform: Linux/RPM i686

Note: Possibly Bug#42535 describes a related phenomenon
