Since few versions ago whenever I try to select text inside the formula bar the default cursor is often replaced by the barred circle cursor. From that point the formula bar acts as if the left mouse button was still pressed (simply moving the cursor will act as if I was trying to select some text).
As it’s probably unclear I just made a test with a cell containing the text ‘Hello world!’. The bug occured while the cursor was on the space between the two words, by moving it to the right, ’ world!’ appeared as selected. At that point I typed ‘abc’:
In the formula bar ‘Helloabc’ was displayed (as those three letters have replaced the selected text).
But in the cell itself the text was ‘Helalobc world!’ (with the ‘a’ being that far to the left).
Could anyone tell me in which version that bug as introduced so I could revert back to an older one?
Currently I’m using version 7.3.3.2:
Version: 7.3.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d1d0ea68f081ee2800a922cac8f79445e4603348
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (fr_FR); UI: en-US
Calc: CL
The bug status as it was before my today’s changes was that original poster used 7.2.1.2, not knowing which older version worked. The only reply there was that it was impossible to repro on Linux. The bug needed some work to find where it had started (which is done now).
