--- Comment #4 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 
<stephane.guil...@libreoffice.org> ---
Reproduced in:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9a02f4ed071f15908624fb1cafcf6dbb72b00a1b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Trying to change a lowercase c to an uppercase C in the word "Cont." and then
pressing Enter will autoinput to the existing value above the cell - but that's
because Tools > AutoInput is on.

(Noting that this might look like a regression to some since at fileopen, this
only started in 7.4 with the fix for bug 144308. But if the column is edited
first, the same thing happens before that fix, and since OOo 3.3 times.)

This can be worked around with:
- a Ctrl + Z to undo the autoinput.
- or turning off autoinput entirely

The main issue here is that it is not obvious the value will be "autoinputted"
because there is no hint. Usually, the extra characters are highlighted in
"negative", but in this case nothing shows it will change.
So I've changed the summary, I hope that makes sense?

Mike and Heiko, what do you think would be a good way to indicate that the
value will change on pressing Enter? Highlight only the character that will be
replaced? Would be consistent, in my opinion.
