No, not really. Now row gets deleted no matter if it's empty or not. No 
warnings or anything. Selecting and deleting hundred rows doesn't matter 
as everything stays the same and user can't really see the difference.

But selecting all available rows and columns when user expect something 
like Google Sheets is doing, then Delete rows should be grayed out.

No checking is needed, but one: check if selected from current 
row/column to the end. If is, gray out Delete rows/columns option.

But I get it - it's not possible to delete rows and columns like that :)

Thanks,
Kruno
