Is this in the latest svn-version (3561)? I'm not seeing this issue.

I've never used the gui-components and see some other weird stuff (like 
reading an .ods gives me an error about adding a empty name for a 
worksheet and when changing a cell in the grid i get an invalid date 
format error but that's probably something i'm doing wrong :).

For the TsWorksheetGrid, i can just drop it on a form, set goEditing in 
Options, do a sWorksheetGrid1.LoadFromSpreadsheetFile and select 
multiple cells. (You're right that that doesn't work in TDrawGrid but 
for TsWorksheetGrid it works for me)

Could you provide sample code? (or is it also just as simple as mine?)

(or am i not understanding the problem correctly?)
