[GH #5754] selectionMode doesn't work while we use mergecells

Hi,

If we use mergeCells in the table, then the selectionMode is not working. But if we remove mergeCells then selectionMode is working. Please guide me how can I achieve both in a table.

Following is the stackblitz to replicate this issue:

Hey @ebalasubramanian24

what steps should I take to replicate the issue? I do not see any oddities

  1. Just try to select multiple cells by dragging, it will happen, but actually I shouldn’t.
  2. If you remove the code for mergeCells and try to select multiple cells by dragging it will not happen.

Can you record the behavior? Whatever I do it seem to work as expected.

Sorry for the delayed response…

Here is the recordings of expected and actual behaviour.

Actual behaviour:

I had made the selection mode as single and also had used merge cells, in that case selectionmode single is not working, I can able to select the as many cells I can. But If I remove the merge cells then it’s working as expected.

Expected Behaviour:

Here I had removed the merge cell and now it’s not allowing to select more than one cell.

My expectation is, I need to use merge cells and the selection mode should not select more than one cell.
