Bug in the table selection size

[chilly_charly]

An annoying bug in Table controls (LV 8.5/Windows XP/ MacOS 10.5)

When dealing with whole rows/colums (click in the row/column header), the Table Selection Size is always wrong :
when columns are selected, the overall table size is returned,
when rows are selected, the right row number is returned, but the column number is set to 1 !..

The attached vi shows the problem.

Confirmed in LV 8.5, Win XP!

You mean to say that the right row number is returned in the Selection Start property, NOT in the Selection Size property, am I right... ?

Because, the Selection Size always shows 0, when the row header is selected...

Since this bug was a showstopper for my application, I spent some time trying to find a workaround...
Found one by accident. I don't understand why it works : it should not do anything :
Detect a mouseUp event in the row/column headers, then read the Selection start position and write it back in the... Selection start position (ie : do nothing) ! That's enough to get the right value out of the Selection size...
The attached vi illustrate the above story.

The bug is still there in LV 2015.

The workaround works well.

Thanks
