Overview
This PR fixes an issue where using scalar row + slice columns indexing (e.g.
df[scalar_row, slice_columns]) would not preserve column dtypes properly. The fix implements a special case for this indexing pattern to first extract the column slice, preserving dtypes, then extract the specific row.Checklist
Proof
The fix addresses issue #63071 by handling the scalar row + slice columns case specifically in
_LocationIndexer._getitem_lowerdim. The solution first gets the column slice to create a sub-DataFrame with preserved column dtypes, then extracts the required row from this sub-DataFrame. This ensures that the resulting Series maintains the original column dtypes as expected.Closes #63071
