Hello Keith,

Thank you for your reply.

I was able to reproduce this behavior with the latest version of our assemblies.

I logged a new bug report related to this, which can be found at the following link:

Spreadsheet: Deselecting the current active cell, which is part of a selection range, does not clear its selection

In addition, as a token of gratitude for bringing this to our attention, I updated your Telerik points.

With this being said, please let me know if any additional assistance regarding this case is required.

Regards,
Stenly

Hi there - I tested this feature in 2025 Q3 and it is not working properly. If you use CTRL+Click and select several different individual cells and then CTRL+Click to deselect the current cell, it won't deselect the cell and then will mark the previous cell in the range as current. Also, if you have no selections and CTRL+Click the active cell it changes the visual state. It should do nothing similar to Excel.

Thank you! I had written a behavior to do this, but it will be nice to have it native in the control!

Hello,

We are currently working on a fix for this behavior, however, I am afraid that I cannot provide a set timeframe in which it will be fixed.

What I can suggest is to follow this item in order to receive an email notification when its status changes.

Yes, this is definitely needed for our users as un-select using CTRL key is the common workflow.

This is really important to our users as it is the behavior of Excel.
