<pre>Description:
After opening a spreadsheet downloaded from the Internet (in read-only) mode,
the user cannot select any text using keyboard navigation.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a spreadsheet (e.g.,
<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5382278/bin/ncomms14845-s2.xlsx">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5382278/bin/ncomms14845-s2.xlsx</a>)
2. Open in read-only mode.
3. Press F2 to edit a cell.
4. Use the arrow keys to navigate within the cell.
5. Use shift + arrow keys to select text within the cell.
Actual Results:
Arrow keys to not move the cursor position within the text, despite a cursor
being visible and flashing.
Expected Results:
User can navigate the cell text using arrow keys.
User can highlight text using arrow keys and shift key modifier.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Read-only does not mean "cannot copy". A read-only document should still have
all the regular functionality for copying text when reviewing a cell's
contents.
A work around is to use the mouse to select text.</pre>
