            Bug ID: 143651
           Summary: Calc fails to fill-in default value from prior rows
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mrzenwiz at gmail.com

In LibreOffice releases up to and including 7.1, when I begin to enter a value
on a row on a spreadsheet, if any previous row has a similar value, Calc fills
in default suggested values until I type something that doesn't match.

This is as expected.

In LO 7.2.0.1, this does not happen.  I verified this with a spreadsheet I use
every day to log certain activities and noticed the flaw as soon as I installed
7.2.

I just checked with my laptop, which is still running 7.0, and re-installed 7.1
on my desktop (where I ususally use it), and the prior behavior consistently
occurs.

To reproduce:

Open a spreadsheet in Calc.
Enter some data on a row.
<cr> to the next row and begin to enter similar data that starts off the same.

In 7.1 and earlier, Calc will fill in (selected) by default the previous entry
until you type something that does not match.

In 7.2, this does not occur - the row is blank and gets no prompted input.

I believe this is also the default behavior in Excel (the 7.1 and earlier
behavior).
