Reproduced ; not only with Hide feature but also with Group feature

Version: 25.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 03d19516eb2e1dd5d4ccd751a0d6f35f35e08022
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render:
Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

1) is Hide and Group supposed to work the same, except for the obvious visual
appearance (handles "+"/"-"..) ? 

2) I agree that this needs to be fixed. 

I use Grouping mostly just because there are too many rows/ cols of same type
(ex, hundreds of them!) and need to hide out of the way, but this does not mean
autofill (either double click or drag the corner ) should not work on them. 

Proposed workaround (setting the width/height of cells to be 0.00..1) is very
cumbersome. 

Apparently, some people like the current behaviour. 

Options for fixing:

o1. Have 2 distinct kinds of grouping or hiding: independently accessible
- one for hiding from view only; but autofill still works on them
- one for hiding from calculations, 

Maybe Grouping - for hide out of view, and Hiding - for hiding from
calculations? 

o2. Pop-up a dialog at autofill to ask user whether to also work with the
hidden rows/cells

o3. Allow a preference option for the user to choose one vs other behaviour.
