Description Unknown 2002-05-15 11:11:40 UTC 
In Excel it is possible to directly select a row/columjn with the right mouse
button in de the border and then getting the menu to use a function.
In openoffice you first need to select the row/column and then can use the right
mouse button. This is very unhandy.

One for the PM
Comment 2 falko.tesch 2003-10-17 07:11:39 UTC 
When right-clicking on a column or row header (or on the select all
space top left) do the following:
Open the contect menu AND select the connected range (full row/column
for row/column header; complete sheet for "select all" area)
Reason:
If a user wants to apply formatting or the like to a comlete
row/column/sheet he has first to select and the to invoke the context
menu. These two steps can be combined.

Matthias, you still need to update the "Context for Context Menus"
specification. My understanding is that a row is *not* to be selected
if a range was already selected that contains cells from the row.

This is the same as issue 18735, which is part of the PCD handling, so
I'm closing this one although it's older.
