I having been having this issue since Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2 (if not before) and LibreOffice 25.8 (if not before). Note: my post here (and elsewhere) refers primarily to Calc; while Writer has the same issue, my limited use of Writer also limits my frustration with Writer. Definitions: "Highlight" and "Highlighted" — as used below — are defined as “frame surrounding the cell.” Highlighted, as referred to in the paragraphs below is not referring to a cell that is colored to bring additional attention to it; rather, it refers to a cell that is surrounded by a frame on all four sides Focus — as used below, is defined as a cell's ability to "receive" data that is typed into the cell. There is no visible sign on the presence — or absence of focus. It is only when I (try to) type data into the cell, I realize the cell has focus or not — depending on whether the highlighted cell "accepts" data or not. Below are solutions that consistently work for me (in Calc). Needless to say, I am looking for a permanent resolution of this annoying issue. 1. Pressing the Tab key once gives "focus" to the highlighted cell, allowing me to type data in the highlighted cell. Subsequent pressing of the Tab key results in the highlight moving to the cell to the right of the previously highlighted cell (based on my settings). I find this approach the most convenient. 2. Pressing any arrow key one time (direction is immaterial the first time) also gives focus to the highlighted cell. When any arrow key is pressed two or more times, highlight moves to the cell in the direction of the arrow key. I find this "solution" less convenient. You can find details of my pain on the Apache Open Office (AOO) forum (https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113336) — (as well as 2 other forums) where I have posted this issue in detail — without a successful resolution. Attached is the spreadsheet I posted on AOO. None of the people who reviewed my spreadsheet had a focus problem in cell A19. During the dozens of times I have opened the attachment, I have yet to get focus in cell A19 without pressing the Tab key.
