Bug ID: 132026
Summary: Entering "-" in a cell formatted as text puts Calc
into formula-entering mode
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.3.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: FreeBSD
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
There should be a way to disable auto-entering formulas in Calc, similar to
disabling auto correction. Currently entering dash "-" or plus "+" and trying
to move to the next cell triggers a formula-entering mode. This behavior
persists even for cell explicitly formatted as text.
Without such option it's impossible to enter dash in a few adjacent cells
without workarounds, i.e. after entering "-" to press Enter, which moves cursor
to the cell below, then cursor Up and Right (4 strokes instead of 2).
Raised originally here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/237810/how-to-disable-formulas/
When I enter "-" or "+" into a cell and press cursor right to move to the next
cell LibreOffice thinks that I am starting to write a formula and automatically
highlights the cell I moved into. I formatted all cells as text but it doesn't
change this behavior. Is there a toggle that prevents this, similar to Auto
correction?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter "-"
2. Press cursor right
Actual Results:
Formula entering mode.
Expected Results:
Cursor moved to the next cell.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The software should not enter into formula enter mode when the cell is
formatted as text (menu Format -> Cells...) or should provide an option to
disable this behavior, similar to disabling auto correction.
