Bug ID: 101437
Summary: UI: Keyboard entry and "click references" interact
badly in formula input field
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.0.4 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I just upgraded to 5.2.0.4 from 5.1.x.x and noticed that "click references"
together with manual keyboard entry works differently (and in my opinion worse)
when editing/entering a formula in the input field.
Previously, I could click a cell, type a few characters, click another cell,
type a few more characters, and so on, with all the "click references" and
typed characters being appended to the formula. With 5.2.0.4, I sometimes see
"click references" being replaced by what I type afterwards, unless I do
something explicit to avoid it (like clicking an additional time in the input
field or pressing the cursor-right key). But it doesn't happen consistently
that way!
Examples:
1. A cell contains the formula "=A1+B2". I click on the input field to edit
the formula, type "+", click "C3", type "+", click 'D3'. The result is
"=A1+B2+C3+D3", which is just what I wanted.
2. A cell contains the formula "=A1+B2". I click on the input field to edit
the formula, type "+", click "C3", type "/", click 'D3'. I would have wanted
"=A1+B2+C3/D3", but instead get "=A1+B2+/D3" as the "/" replaced the
click-inserted C3.
3. A cell contains the formula "=A1+B2". I double click on the cell to edit
the formula "in place" (not in the input field). After moving the cursor to
the end of the formula, I type "+", click "C3", type "/", click 'D3'. The
result is "=A1+B2+C3/D3", which is what I wanted.
So the behavior is different depending on which characters I type ('+' or '/'),
and also depending on whether the cursor is in the input field or in the cell
itself when I do the typing.
