Keep selection of entire column/row after deletion

Try this: (1) Select one or more entire rows or columns (2) Press CTRL + (hold down ctrl and press the plus-Key) (3) An entire rows/columns are inserted (4) Repeat (2) and (3) as often you like. Now try this: (1) Select one or more entire rows or columns (2) Press CTRL - (hold down ctrl and press the minus-Key) (3) The entire rows/columns are deleted (4) Now, rather than entire rows/columns, only one single cell is selected. (5) You cannot repeat (2) and (3) but must reselect the entire rows/columns again and again. Suggestion: After deleting rows/columns keep entire rows/columns selected.
Confimed in Dev_DEV300_m21_winXP. The first time it deleted rows/columns by press "CTRL" and "-". And the second time it pops up the "Delete cells".
