Heh, I _should_ reread the whole email before answering ;)

I can confirm now. This is due to some inconsistent merge/obscuring 
data inside KSpreadCell.

Recently I stumbled across this one:

kspread/kspread_cell.cc:819:
// Update: it seems that if we do an actual merge, then the obscuring
// cell is prepended and if just expanding, then it is appended.  This
// means that we should be able to just look at the first one.

KSpreadCell *KSpreadCell::ultimateObscuringCell() const
{


I'm not really sure this is true in every case. Wrong order in the 
d->extra()->obscuringCells value list might have an impact as well.

Something interesting: Go to cell D1 (so the invoice is selected but 
NOT C1). Then break the cell merge. Notice that C1 to F1 is _still_ 
merged! Now cursor movement works fine.

I assume this has to do with possibly inconsistent cell merging and 
maybe obscuring (see above)?

Would be great if you could dig into this, it is even closely related 
to your soc project (I still have a couple of exams coming up the 
next days).
