Re: "I think this is not a bug although it is confusing"

Seriously? If some feature is confusing to users, particularly those
experienced enough to participate in the user forums, and is recognized as
confusing by a developer, that is by any reasonable definition a BUG.

It's likely that the issue might not be one of coding inadequacies, but rather
a lack of clear definition of what needs to happen during text entry or editing
within a cell. As pointed out earlier, the specs for such a FUNDAMENTAL editing
process should encompass all conditions, including the use of multiple script
directions and so forth - just like normal use.

HINT: ask the question: why should the process/technique of editing text within
a cell be any different [from a user's perspective] from editing in the
document as a whole? If the answer is developer-centric (e.g. such behaviour is
harder to code within a cell) rather than user-centric, this can be considered
a CLUE.

Of course the excuse ("who uses that feature anyway?") can (as usual) be used
to obfuscate the issue. If the feature is considered not to be useful, why not
simply remove it? And I think we all know the answers (yes, plural) to that.
