            Bug ID: 92793
           Summary: UI: Cursor disappears when editing a cell using
                    formula bar
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
In Calc, when editing a cell using the formula bar, the cursor in the sheet
(thick rectangle border indicating current cell) completely disappears.  This
can sometimes make it a bit difficult to figure out which cell is being edited. 

Steps to reproduce:
* New spreadsheet
* Select a cell
* Click in the formula bar to edit current cell

Expected:
I would expect to be able to edit the selected cell and still have a strong
visual indication of which cell we are modifying.  If not the standard cell
border cursor, I would expect some other prominent visual cue.

Actual:
Our cursor is now gone.  Aside from row/column headings being highlighted, we
have a completely blank document with no indication of which cell we're
modifying.

Notes:
This is quite trivial and I'm still not completely convinced that it's valid,
but struck me as a decent enhancement request.  It also becomes less of an
issue when one has a sheet that is full of data.  It is also quite easy to work
around by either looking at the row/column headings or typing something in a
cell and watching for motion.

The cursor around the cell also disappears when editing the cell directly (f2
or double clicking a cell), but this behavior somehow seems more intended.

Again, sorry if this is rather piddly, but I figure I'll at least attempt to
report it!
