            Bug ID: 123492
           Summary: Cannot select text using keyboard in read-only mode
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: thangalin at gmail.com

Description:
After opening a spreadsheet downloaded from the Internet (in read-only) mode,
the user cannot select any text using keyboard navigation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a spreadsheet (e.g.,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5382278/bin/ncomms14845-s2.xlsx)
2. Open in read-only mode.
3. Press F2 to edit a cell.
4. Use the arrow keys to navigate within the cell.
5. Use shift + arrow keys to select text within the cell.

Actual Results:
Arrow keys to not move the cursor position within the text, despite a cursor
being visible and flashing.

Expected Results:
User can navigate the cell text using arrow keys.

User can highlight text using arrow keys and shift key modifier.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Read-only does not mean "cannot copy". A read-only document should still have
all the regular functionality for copying text when reviewing a cell's
contents.

A work around is to use the mouse to select text.
