--- Comment #2 from James D Howard <[email protected]> ---
Regrettably, a saved file example will not show the bug, because the editing
process destroys the presence of the <HT> (0x09 tab). The following detailed
process easily and repeatably shows the editing bug.
1.) Start LibreOffice Calc from Windows Start menu icon
-- Calc shows initial, blank, new unnamed spreadsheet
-- Allow cells to remain in default formatting
2.) Select Calc spreadsheet cell A1 and enter some text
-- Enter "ABCD"
2.) Start a plain text editor like MSFT Notepad
-- Enter in text "abc<HT>def"
-- where <HT> is 0x09 an ASCII horizonal tab ^I
-- Visual effect of tab <HT> between 'c' and 'd' clearly visible
-- multi-width whitespace shown between 'c' and 'd' verifies
<HT> entry
-- Select and [Ctrl]+C (copy) the <HT> within the text (1 char)
3.) Again, select Calc spreadsheet cell A1
-- Note: Do this by double-click while cursor is pointing inside the cell
-- Activates in-place, on-screen intra-cell editing
-- Cursor turns to vertical bar text edit cursor
-- Use left- or right-arrow keys (if needed) to move vertical bar text
edit cursor to be between the 'B' and 'C'
-- Do a 'paste' [Ctrl]+V into the cell, placing <HT> between 'B' and 'C'
-- 'wide' whitespace now visible in cell
-- Cell cursor remains in text-entry mode
-- Additional verification of <HT>:
-- Move text entry cursor to left of cell with [Home] key
-- Again use [Ctrl]+V paste
-- see visual effect of <HT>
-- Cell cursor remains in text-entry mode
-- Triple click on cell to get all cell text selected
-- Copy selected text by either:
-- Right-click on cell to get context menu & use [Copy] item, or
-- [Ctrl]+C copy keyboard command
4.) Verify <HT> in cell's entry data
-- Move GUI focus back to text editor
-- Do [Ctrl]+V on a new line in text editor
-- Note that visual effect of <HT> is present
-- If your editor can show non-printing glyphs, you will see "tab"
indicator(s)
5.) Return focus to Calc window
-- (Should still see cell's selection highlight of all text in cell)
-- Use cursor-and-click to select another cell
-- Note: entered text in cell changes, eliminating <HT> effect
and turns <HT> chars into spaces
6.) At this point, the user's desired text entry has been damaged/destroyed,
and no longer contains <HT>
This is distinctly UN-like Excel, which preserves <HT>
