Test case; it's a mini-dictionary.

Here's [1] from the bug above.

Works fine for me with 1.6 (cvs from 2006-08-01). So, bug is not reproducable
(any longer?!).

Ok, retrying shows, that the bug is still valid and reproducable with following
steps;

1. Open the at comment #1 attached file with KSpread
2. Selected the row #5 by clicking on the rowheader, so that all cells within
that row are selected
3. Change the font from "Bitstream Vera Sans" to "Times New Roman" by using the
at the Format-toolbar displayed font-selector.

Result; B5, F5, H5 and all cells >=J5 (so, J5, K5,, L5, etc.) have still the
font "Bitstream Vera Sans" while all other cells within that row have the font
"Times New Roman".

I may like to add, that KSpread is right to _not_ apply the changed font to the
whole row (as bugreports like #114635 show). But it seems to even don't apply
the new font to cells that have already content.

KSpread has a fallback procedure for cell formats. If a cell has none, it looks
at its row, which also could have one. If there's also no format, it falls back
to the column. 
Assignments of a format to a row first process all non-default cells. The flag,
that indicates, that a format attribute (e.g. font) is set, will be reset (!)
and the so called "no-fallback-flag" for this attribute also. Then, the format
is assigned to the row. Which should lead to the fact, that all cell in this
row fall back to the format of the row.
But unfortunately it does not work as expected.

Format	Fix "some operations ignore arbitrary cells of a selection"
	by clearing the flags in Format and also in Style.
