--- Comment #8 from dg1727 <[email protected]> ---
I'm proposing to leave the existing behavior by default BUT allow users the
option of making Calc's enter/edit-mode behavior less confusing.  

I believe a number of existing Calc options (in Tools > Options...) are similar
to this (giving users the option of having Calc act differently than Excel).  

I know for a fact there are aspects of Calc that are more user-friendly than
the corresponding aspects of Excel (at least the version of Excel that was
current when the feature was added to Calc), and that don't even have options
to turn them off.  

I think that for inexperienced users, even showing Enter vs. Edit mode in the
status bar is likely to be (a) unnoticed for a long time; and (b) once it is
noticed, still confusing.  Item (a) can be addressed by their sysadmin (who is
familiar with the user's experience level) by disabling the requested checkbox
on installation of LibreOffice; (b) can be addressed by the user or sysadmin by
disabling the requested checkbox once the default inconsistent behavior dawns
on them.
