Hallo Heiko,

I could imagine that "unmerge" is invoked with either cells selected (may be
entire table or a single eventually merged cell or whatever subset of the
table) or with the cursor in a cell. That case should be treated same as if
that cell was selected.

The command given by "unmerge" then would be to recreate i.e. make visible all
the covered cells in the selected domain. There is no ambiguity.

In all the examples I dissected columns were never deleted by merge. So I can
answer why not 20 cells - there are 6 columns! Even if columns were deleted
above definition of the command semantic is clear. Recreate an eventually lost
entire (empty) column can be done by insert column analogous to insert row.

So it is not about undoing respective recreating what may have existed before
but to make visible the row/column structure and make sure that in some
selected range there is no merged cell nor a covered cell thus re-exposing all
parts to standard editing.

To raise a valid argument about what might be possible or not I suggest to
raise it with an example. Dissecting may in many cases provide a clear answer!
