            Bug ID: 129714
           Summary: Cursor not in cell when editing xls file.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.8.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bht237 at gmail.com

Simple xls file used as test case

How to reproduce:


The cell text is EDIT_THIS_TEXT_PLEASE

- Open the attached spreadsheet
- At this point, the cursor should be in cell B3 with text "Start"
- With cursor keys [Up], [Right], [Right], without using the mouse, locate the
cell D2 with text "EDIT_THIS_TEXT_PLEASE" and press [F2] to edit it.

Expected behavior: The caret should be in the cell so that one can see which
character it is on.

Actual behavior: The caret is not visible. It needs to be activated by clicking
on the cell with the mouse.


For a serious spreadsheet user, this is quite annoying, and such a bug should
not exist in a product that has been around for so long. a spreadsheet is a
front end tool a GUI to manipulate data, so basic navigation should be correct.
