            Bug ID: 144997
           Summary: Occasionally, text or numbers in the formula bar are
                    not highlighted for editing correctly
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rpacker37 at googlemail.com

Description:
A text string, number string or formula in the LO Calc formula bar cannot be
highlighted properly when clicking and dragging to highlight the content. This
appears to apply to left to right and right to left click and drag but does not
happen all the time. A black circle with a black line through it appears and
the highlighting switches to following the cursor even when the click is lifted
and acts almost like an insert key stroke. When clicking again with the
highlight overlay following the mouse pointer, it places the cursor at the
location of the click and the highlight overlay disappears. 

>From what I can tell this appeared in the previous 1 or 2 versions of LO Calc
but definitely wasn't present before. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter formula, numbers or text in formula bar
2.Highlight content from left to right or right to left
3.A circle with a line through it is displayed and text stops highlighting

Actual Results:
A circle with a line through it is displayed and text stops highlighting
correctly, the black highlight overlay follows the cursor when the click is
lifted and any attempt to edit or remove the data malfunctions

Expected Results:
Highlight formula bar contents following the click and drag system


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes
