            Bug ID: 127740
           Summary: While editing, left key selects the previous cell on
                    the left
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: szfjozsef at gmail.com

Description:
If I double click or F2 on a cell to edit it, I can move the cursor left or
right with the arrow keys. However, if I select a blank cell and start typing
it, then hit the left key to move back, it selects the previous cell on the
left instead! I am looking to get rid of this functionality since it's very
annoying and counter-productive.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an empty cell
2. Type 'JohnSmith'
3. Hit the left key to go between 'nS' to add the missing space

Actual Results:
Calc leaves the cell being edited and jumps to the previous cell on the left.

Expected Results:
Move the cursor. Since I'm not typing a formula (started with =), I'm not
interested to pick another cell.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
