<pre>Description:
Calc, when the compose key (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key</a>) 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.</pre>
