Bug ID: 96544
Summary: Text inserts in wrong place when cell contains a URL
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I often type short textual notes into a Calc cell, and the text often includes
a URL. If I then go back to the cell to insert (or paste-in) a few extra words
the text gets inserted into the wrong position.
For example, open a new empty Calc sheet, then in cell A1 type this into the
cell:
one http://www.libreoffice.org three four five six seven eight
and hit Enter.
Now use the MOUSE to click cell A1 to make it the current cell again. Then in
the formula bar click just before the word "three" and type the word "two". You
will notice as you type the characters in the cell are actually inserted
immediately after the word "seven"!
So in the formula bar you see
one http://www.libreoffice.org two three four five six seven eight
but in the cell contents you see
one http://www.libreoffice.org three four five six seventwo eight
then hit Enter. Now use the MOUSE to click the cell A1 again - you will see
that the incorrect text has been stored. Now click in the formula bar somewhere
AFTER the URL, and then try to delete some characters - you will see the wrong
characters disappear in the cell contents! It's all a bit of a mess.
To get around this I usually have to copy the whole cell contents to notepad,
insert any text I want and then paste the whole thing back into the calc cell
again, which is a bit tedious.
Strangely if you use the CURSOR keys (instead of the mouse) to make A1 the
current cell, then this problem is much less likely to happen.
