            Bug ID: 142034
           Summary: Selecting (single left-click) cell enters edit mode
                    directly when compose character on keyboard was struck
                    beforehand
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: andrew at asiplas.net

Description:
Calc, when the compose key (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key) has been
pressed, will directly start editing a cell on single-click.

Reproduce:



It's not clear this is desired behavior—this occurs even long periods after
compose key has been struck but not used.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press «compose» key on keyboard (or bind to an alternate key and use that),
but don't press any further key—leave OS waiting for 2nd/3rd keystroke to
compose the character.
2. Single-click any cell in calc from an idle (but not read-only) state.

Actual Results:
Calc enters edit mode right away, navigating away by further click on another
cell results in cell contents cleared.

Expected Results:
Editing a cell would require a double click, clicking outside the cell would
*NOT* clear the contents—pending character from before-the-fact should not
clear cell contents not explicitly edited by user.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Held the compose event until getting a further keystroke, e.g. if compose
character is pending, wait for the '/' and 'c' keystrikes to make the ¢ (cent)
mark, for example, and don't enter edit until complete character is received.

At least don't interpret a keystrike from 10 minutes earlier as input upon
clicking a cell.
