            Bug ID: 127666
           Summary: LibreOffice Calc loses cell contents when receiving
                    focus
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: faure at kde.org

Regression in oocalc 6.2.5.2 compared to 6.1.3:

* Type some content in a cell, in oocalc
* Give focus to another window
* Give focus back to the oocalc window
=> the current cell is emptied, editing mode is started on an empty cell.

Workaround: pressing Esc reverts to the previous contents.
But if the confused user presses Enter instead, or even just gave focus back by
clicking on a different cell, those contents are lost!

This is the worst LibreOffice bug I have ever experienced, silent data loss
while using the software, meaning the user might only notice far too late,
after making other changes elsewhere, and then even 'Undo' to recover lost data
is a real pain since you then lose your actual changes.

Please handle with top priority.
