merge button should be disabled if only one cell is selected

Hi. Please... - open a blank writer document - insert a table with at least 2 cells - select ONE cell, therefor: hold down left mouse button (lmb) over the first cell, move the mouse over the second cell, move the mouse back over the first cell and release the lmb - in the toolbar that pops up, the merge cell button is enabled although only one cell is selected (have a look at the attached screenshot) - press the merge button: nothing has merged, since one cell cannot be merged. -> The merge button should be disabled if only one cell is selected (like in Calc)
Created attachment 42937 [details] merge_cell.png
Confirming with 2.1 and 2.2m5 on WinXP - selecting cell as described enables "Merge Cells" button on Table toolbar. Selecting cell via Table, Select, Cells does not enable "Merge Cells" button on toolbar.
When selecting a cell by... - setting the cursor in a cell - hold down SHIFT - press a cursor key to expand the selection to the next cell - press cursor key of opposite direction - release SHIFT ... the button is enabled, too, like when selecting using the mouse.
As described, active "merge cells" button does not make sense when only one cell is selected.
