            Bug ID: 144520
           Summary: Selecting cells in Impress tables is almost impossible
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.1.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: silvandy at katamail.com

Description:
Create Any table in an Impress slide, insert some content in the cells. Than
try to select some of the cells, for example a row/column or any subset of
adjacent cells. Or try to select all the table cells with ctrl+a, or by mouse
dragging. In all cases, Cell selection does not seem to work in the usual
fashion (similar to writer tables for example). By dragging the mouse in
various directions you sometimes get some selection, but it is generally not
what you expected and therefore not useful. Formatting Impress tables with this
unresponsiveness becomes practically impossible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in an impress slide, create a table
2. try to selects some cells with a mouse dragging operation, or with the shift
+ arrows keys. You do not obtain the expected selections, and most of the times
you get no selection at all.
3. Now click in a cell so that the cursor is clearly blinking in it. then use
the command "select all" in the edit menu. THe text inside the cell when the
cursor is gets selected; however the repetition of the same command does not
result in the selection of all cells.

Actual Results:
Selecting cells in impress tables is difficult if not impossible with mostly
unexpected results

Expected Results:
Cell selection should work in the standard fashion


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Cell selection in Impress tables was painfully slow but working in release
6.1.4 that I tried to check if this was a regression. It seems to be.
By the way, working with tables in Impress have always been a real pain for the
slow response to any command/operation. But this now is very difficult to
workaround, one is tempted to use a writer table and then insert the OLE object
into the impress slide
