Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49661
Exiting selected ranges to left
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
After a range has been selected from left to right, using shift + right arrow, I would like to exit the range by the focus moving to the cell at the left end of the range, as happens in Excel when pressing the left arrow key.

This issue seems to have been resolved. If a range is selected, pressing an arrow key moves the focus to the cell in the direction of the arrow key relative to the top left hand cell in the range. This is confirmed in OOo 2.4.0-5 on Linux, Debian testing distribution. Thanks to whoever did this.
as the reporter tells set to fixed
-> closed
There seems to have been a regression in 3.1.0 as the behaviour has reverted to what it was before this bug was fixed.
