Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108474
Column and row selections are not retained when modifying them by shift key

If you select a whole column or row either by clicking on the column / row head or by pressing Ctrl+Space or Ctrl+Shift+Space, expanding the selection by pressing the shift key and moving with keys reduces the selection to the position of the active cell. This is an unwanted behaviour.
Rob Brunner, 11/5/2013: This issue has been confirmed and can be replicated by the following steps: 1. Click on either a column or row header (e.g. 1 or A) 2. Press and hold shift 3. Click the down arrow button The selection is then reduced to the square/rectangle created between the clicked header and the currently active cell.
Column selection is lost when pressing Shift+left arrow or Shift+right arrow. Expected behavior is that more entire columns will be selected. AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1551264 2013-12-17_04:10:52 - Rev. 1551455 Debian
