Calc - issue when selecting cells with SHIFT + left/right/up/down Arrow keys

Libreoffice 7.4, Flatpak version
Calc

When I try to select several cells with keyboard SHIFT + left/right/up/down arrow this happens:

SHIFT + down / right arrow: working fine
SHIFT + up / left arrow: do not work (nothing happens)

Looks like a bug.

It’s not just the Flatpak version, also applies to:

Version: 7.4.0.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 40(Build:3)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US
7.4.0-3
Calc: threaded

Have you tried the Shift key on the other side of the keyboard? I’ve seen something very similar in, I think, Ubuntu before, and the opposite Shift key worked.

Could be Bug 150336 - Shift + Up/Left no longer works to select cells in LO 7.4 beta 2 (using the Tabbed UI)

Resolved in 7.4.1 according to report. Or change UI to Standard in View > User interface and restart LO

Thanks, I can confirm that in 7.4.1 the bug is resolved.
