<pre>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
<a href="https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/de1bb0878fc7d7eb6071ec94d770712648013075%5E!/">https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/de1bb0878fc7d7eb6071ec94d770712648013075%5E!/</a>
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:

Block selection crept into Calc sometime after 3.5.0.
As it seems useless, should we remove it from Calc?</pre>
