            Bug ID: 122280
           Summary: Remove Block selection mode from Calc
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: lowest
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I was originally going to file this report for:

1. Left-click the selection mode icon in the status bar many times

You can never reach Block selection. This works fine in Writer.
Left-click behaviour was implemented with
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/de1bb0878fc7d7eb6071ec94d770712648013075%5E!/

It is not clear to me, what the selection mode is supposed to do in Calc. It
does not seem to behave at all differently from Standard. Nobody seems to be
able to answer why we have it in Calc:

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=95979

Block selection crept into Calc sometime after 3.5.0.

As it seems useless, should we remove it from Calc?
