            Bug ID: 128678
           Summary: EDITING Unable to unselect merged cells using arrows
                    keys when selecting from bottom or right
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
When adding merged cells to a selection which are to the top or left of the
initial cell it is not possible to unselect them using Shift+Arrow in the
direction they are merged.
Unselecting them using a mouse or escaping the merged cell perpendicular to
it's merged direction still works however.

When selecting a mix of normal and merged cells (using a mouse or Shift+Arrow)
the behaviour can get pretty strange.
This can be tested by making a circle of merged cells (X: merged):
0 X X 0
X 0 0 X
X 0 0 X
0 X X 0
The selection mechanism can now be tested by select a cell in an inner or outer
corner and adding more cells to the selection.
It can be observed that above problem does not occur when the initall selected
cell is to the top and/or left oft the merged cells.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Merge cells A1 and B1
2. Select cell C1
3. Press Shift+LeftArrow to add A1:B1 to the selection
4. Try to remove A1:B1 from the selection using Shift+RightArrow

Actual Results:
Step 4 is impossible and you can't remove the merged cells from the selection

Expected Results:
After either 1 or 2 presses of the right arrow the merged cells should be
excluded from the selection


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
