when entire row/column is selected via r/c header Shift+arrow keys do not take selection into account but only cell focus

Hi, when marking a row with click on the header the enhancement to left/right will not mark the additional row. The array now marked is form first column to the upper column of the shown columns. In example, if the array A40000:M40100 is shown on screen, the row C is marked with click upon "C"-header and [shift]+[right] ist pressed, the new marked array will be C1:D40000. Ciao Michael
do I understand you right that you would like to select the entire next row with Shift + up/down when you start from an entirely selected row?
no, I don't wanna use shift+up/down. I've used shift+right and/or shift+left. The use of shift+right differs by the way of selction of a complete row. If I select the row C with a) with keys ctrl+up and ctrl+down this happens when I'll press shift+right a) row C and D are selected If I select the row C with b) complete row with click on the row head ("C" above row no. 1) this happens when I'll press shift+right b) C1:Dx is selected, where x is the number of the first shown column
in a) do you mean ctrl+Shift+up ? apart from that, the behaviour in each situation is as expected for me. what do you want to see differently? (and you mixed rows and columns: A,B etc. are columns, whereas 1,2,... are rows)
<shameonmeformixing> And yes I mean crtl+shift+down :-(. Okay, I'll try to make a better example: 1st ex. a. move focus to C1 b. press ctrl+shift+down => whole column is selected c. press shift+right => columns C and D are selected = okay 2nd ex. a. move mouse to C1 b. press left mouse button - move mouse to C10 - release mouse button c. press shift+right = array (C1:D10) is selected = okay 3rd ex. a. move focus to C1 b. click on "C" above C1 => whole column is selected and focus is in C1 c. press shift+right => array (C1:D1) ist selected = unexpected Here I expected array (C1:D65536 = C:D). 4th ex. a. scroll down until "row" 20 is on top b. set focus on C30 c. press "C" like in 3b => whole column is selected and focus moved to C20 c. press shift+right => array (C1:D20) ist selected Here it's unexpected that the focus moved and the selection is pending on it.
Ok, 3 is working differently than equivalent cases (=> defect): confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP2 with OOo 2.0.1 RC5: normally Shift+arrow keys increase/decrease the selection at the position of the focus. When entire rows/columns are selected via mouse click on row/column header, Shift+arrow keys do not increase/decrease the selected cells at the cell focus but only increase/decrease a selection from the top of the sheet (row 1) at the position where the cell focus is. 4 contains a nother defect I file seperately.
imho have 3rd and 4th example the same reason: The focus moves when selecting a row/column via the header. In ex. 3 it can't move, because it's still there.
