            Bug ID: 129369
           Summary: Function suggestion while editing end of text content
                    in cell
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: regeirs.forum at gmail.com

This issue affect both Windows and Linux. Here is the two
versions/environoments where the behaviour occur in:

Windows 10
 Version: 6.3.2.2 (x86)
 Build ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c
 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win;
 Locale: nb-NO (nb_NO); UI-Language: en-US
 Calc: CL

Linux Lite 4.2
 Version: 6.0.7.3
 Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.2
 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
 Locale: nb-NO (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

Look at the screen copies as it depict the issue.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open the attached file "libo-suggestion-error-example.ods"
* Go to a cell similar contents to those in screen shot (e.g. cell M26) - last
character is "a" or "b".
* Edit cell, Put the cursor at end of text.
* Press Back on keyboard to remove last character
* then enter "a" or "b"

Expected behavior: Behaves like any normal text edior, hitting Enter key makes
the cursor go out of cell-edit mode, and the inserted character stay put.

Observed behavior: After enter the last character in cell, Calc suggest a
formula to insert. Since user expect Calc to insert only "a", user may not be
aware until after Enter is presset and must then go back to re-edit the
contents of the cell.

Consistency: The observed behaviour may or may not affect editng on any cell.
If the behaviour seems not being present, then just move down to next cell
until the beavior occur. I'm not able to predict which cells will be affected.
It also may occur on different cells on different computers.

Workaround: There is no actual workaround on this, but if user is aware that
the behavior can occur at any time, then when the  press any arrow key on
keyboard to cancel the function suggestion and get back to normal text editing
mode, then press Enter to get out of cell edit mode.
