Bug ID: 121876
Summary: Wasting of time and bad behaviour when you use the
'clone' of the cell
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.0.beta1+
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com

Description:
when you are on your cell, the standard white arrow is activated, and the pick
point of the arrow is where you want to pick up the clone cell.
So, you click the cell and then go up to the clone command (the brush) always
using the arrow pick...but after that, the arrow became a bucket and not a
brush and this is confusionary and it's not the worst problem. The worst
problem is that the pick (the target, the aim) of the bucket point down
direction and not up, so 90% you paste on the lower cell that you need because
you are used to the arrow that ALWAYS point to Up. Why don't you change the
bucket to a brush that point up in the same exact point of the arrow? You'll
get two picheaons with one shot! (sorry for my english guys...)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.point in a cell
2.select the clone (brush) command
3.point to the cell that you want to copy in the same position and click

Actual Results:
you paste the on the lower cell instead of the cell you ned

Expected Results:
paste on the upper cell


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

see printscreen - red area is how it works now, blue area how dariomol9 expect
it should work. Makes sense. adding UX team to cc.

Hmm, the iconography is pretty consistent. In all icon themes, the Clone
Formatting button action shows a paint brush--bristles down. And when selected
all themes pick up a cursor (SystemPointer == FILL, 31) symbolized as a pouring
paint bucket. Again offset right & up, so lower left is pointer focus.

This iconography (pointer & button) for clone or fill is consistent. And I
don't think we gain anything by changing the pointer.

IMHO => WF
