--- Comment #9 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/65603 is an attempt to handle the issue.

But as I see, here is no agreement about the way to handle this properly.
The options vocalized are:

1. Naming the top separator of the group, so the relevant fragment of the Row
button's drop-down would look like
> ...
> --- *Fill Cells* --- (here we insert the caption text to the separator!)
> Up [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Down [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Left
> Right
> Random Number...
> --------------------
> ...
This keeps the existing UNO command labels.

2. Changing labels to the commands, so that they look like this:
> ...
> --------------------
> Fill Up [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Fill Down [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Fill Left
> Fill Right
> Fill Random Number...
> --------------------
> ...

3. Removing the elements from the drop-down completely (on the grounds that
there's no use case for them in the drop-down).

I should disagree with the lack of use cases. Unless we remove those elements
from the Sheet->Fill Cells submenu, of course. Users may fill cells by
double-clicking the cell drag handle; or by using the said submenu; or now
using the drop-down button. *If* the function makes sense at all, I disagree
that removing it from the (not cluttered!) drop-down intergating relevant
functions is a good move.
