GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 134627
Cell indexing with shift-tab navigation
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Gnumeric version 1.2.6 Highlight a range for keyboard entry of values, use <TAB> or <ENTER> for changing cells. These work fine. Reverse navigation with <SHIFT-TAB> or <SHIFT-ENTER> changes cells as they should, but the cell index (box, upper left of spreadsheet) reads incorrectly after the SHIFT key is released. It always contains the cell index corresponding to the upper left corner of the highlighted range.
I can not replicate that behavior with 1.2.6 1) Select B2:D5 by clicking on B2 and dragging to D5 then releasing 2) Use shift-enter repeatedly to walk the cells in reverse 3) Use shift-tab repeatedly to walk the cells horizontally in reverse the 'cell index' box appears to update for all of them I tried it pressing individual keys, or using autorepeat. Can you provide a more detailed example ?
I repeated exactly the sequence you indicated. The cell index box updates fine *during* the reverse navigation (shift key pressed), but when the shift key is released, the cell index always reads B2 (even though the highlighted cell may be different). In forward navigation, the cell index box and the highlighted cell always agree.
Ahhh, I can replicate it now. Welcome to why we ask for extreme detail when reporting bugs :-) This shouldn't be too hard to track. I'll have a look this evening.
fixed in both trees patch will be in 1.2.7 which has not been scheduled yet.
