Description Al Schmidt 2024-03-06 13:59:45 UTC
Description:
Changing a validity drop down cell to a valid blank selection by using the space bar, apparently is not generating a change sheet event since the latest update.

Actual Results:
Put a range of cells in the data validity for a cell. have a blank option as valid. without using the drop down, use the space bar to blank out the data in a cell.


Expected Results:
Selecting the blank option by pressing the space bar does not trigger a changed sheet event. Selecting the blank option from the drop down does generate the change sheet event


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Triggered a change sheet event. I'm changing other cells and sometimes attributes of other cells based on the contents of the data validity in cells. I have multiple columns with data validity rules and it slows down data entry by not being able to blank a cell without having to use the drop down to select.
the previous release allowed the space bar blank.

Because the space is like any other letter that you can use to select a value in the list, they get on the position but doesn't trigger the selection.

IMO not a bug.
