Alternate view->freeze specification.
Last modified: 2009-11-11 23:09:16 UTC
Please describe the problem: doesn't work right when highlighting multiple rows or columns beginning at the origin Steps to reproduce: 1.do either step 1a. or 1b. 1a.highlight entire column A and B 1b.highlight entire row 1 and 2 2.view > freeze panes Actual results: panes put in wrong place: F|G 16 --- 17 Expected results: a pane division would appear between col B and C or row 2 and 3 depending what direction you are trying to do Does this happen every time? yes Other information: also happens on selections greater than 2 rows or 2 columns
That's not a bug, actually. The function of view->freeze is to make a split just above and to the left of the selection. As a special case, if A1 is selected, it will split in the middle so you can drag the split to where you want it. (Using the handles near the scroll bars.) You are seeing the special case. Now I can see that it would be useful to do something else if a range like A:X or 1:n is selected. Therefore I will leave it open as an enhancement request. Maybe just split to the right of the selected columns or below the last selected row.
We have fixed this a short while ago (as the result of a duplicate bug report.) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 594875 ***
