Does not go to H1. It just moves to B1. If I delete the the contents of 
B1 then it will go to H1.  It seems that key combination skips over 
blank cells to the next one occupied but does not simply  go to the last 
occupied cell in the row.

Ok, this goes to H5.

This selects A1 + B1. Again it seems like it skips blank cell but only 
goes to the last occupied cell if there are no intervening occupied cells

Yes this selects A1:H5.


When I said I expected it to go to the end of the row I didn't mean to 
sound like that was some universal truth, it is just what I am 
accustomed to in LibreOffice.
