You have well done. The only thing is that it's a enhancement and not a
bug as Calc is designed to work like that. To change this behavior to
act as you want, you have to maintain the Alt key (you can come on the
FR lists if you need help or confirmations on functionality). But as you
said, we always can think to change a behavior if it doesn't fit the
user understanding.

To what exactly want you to participate, coding or design?

Thanks for your feedback
