Bug ID: 139877
Summary: Cell editing does not allow arrows within the cell if
it starts with =
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

Google Sheets handles this better
Scenario: after you've started typing a formula in a cell, you realize the
first character was wrong, e.g. you wanted to start with a parenthesis.
Goal: use the keyboard to change the first character
1. In a cell, type `=1 + 2 + 3`
2. Press Left arrow
Even though it doesn't make sense to insert a cell reference at this point (the
cursor is not after an operand), Calc will take pressing the arrow keys as
navigation among cells.
3. Press Backspace to delete the `+ 3` part.
4. Try again to press Left arrow to hopefully reach `1`.
Google Sheets handles this correctly, as seen in the attached screencast.
In Calc, you need to leave the incorrect formula by pressing Enter, then return
to editing the cell.
