Thank you jay for your response. I understand your point that there are too
many options for group buttons. However, there are IMHO still usability
problems with these two buttons.

I see three main issues with the current implementation:
(1) It mixes (very) frequently used features with substantially less frequently
used features.
(2) In order to access a feature, it always requires two mouseclicks. This is a
usability problem for the frequently used features. Frequent features should
require a minimum number of mouse clicks.
(3) The current two buttons duplicate the features "Up", "Down", "Left",
"Right", "Random Number". This doesn't really make sense and confuses people.

-> Compared to the previous implementation, the frequently used features are
less well accessible.

Hence, I suggest:
Make three out of the two current buttons
(1) ROW button (that remembers the last used feature) with the features:
"insert row below", "insert row above", "delete row" | "hide row", "show row" |
"row height", "optimal height"
(2) COLUMN button (that remembers the last used feature): "insert column
right", "insert column left", "delete column" | "hide column", "show column" |
"column width", "optimal width"
(3) Cell operations button: making accessible the other features: "up", "down",
"left", "right", "random number"

There is already another split button for the features "freeze first row", 
"freeze first column". One could add the feature "row break" and "column break"
there.
