Description jlbraga 2016-11-27 15:54:08 UTC

You try to select a table that extends through 2 different pages. You highlight it all, and if you try to right-click it in the SECOND page, to access the options, the menu doesn't appear and the selection disappears.

If you try to select it bottom-up and right->left, you don't access the cells on the left, and what happens is that the writing cursor gets going up...

Table spanning 2 pages

I repro the losing of the selection, but you have to right-click inside a cell, that is higher than the default.
I don't repro the non-appearance of context menu.

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

I repro selection is lost when right click is on the continuing page row extension.

Here is a patch that makes selection remain when this happens:
