            Bug ID: 108295
           Summary: Default Cursor Position in Cell Background dialog
                    causes extra clicks
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: timbacontent at gmail.com

Description:
The default cursor position for the Custom cell background is in a place that
never helps and always costs extra work.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select a cell and choose background/custom color
note: if one of your templates had the same colors as Excel, users wouldn't
have to return so often to this, nor would they have to memorize the numbers
for each shade of grey
Note that the cursor is before the 3-digit color code


Actual Results:  
Note that the cursor is before the 3-digit color code

Expected Results:
first field should be selected so the user can just type - there is almost no
chance that adding digits BEFORE the existing numbers will be what the user
wants


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
You'll call this "trivial" but consider that each of the formatting widgets of
this program is a tool that users apply in menial fashion over and over and
over. If you save a user one click, you save him or her untold thousands of
clicks. (I call this an enhancement because Excel is even worse in this
regard).
