Description Roeland 2016-08-28 19:05:17 UTC
In calc, if I want to undo the things I did in the last cell I edited, my last action needs to be selecting a cell. Otherwise only the content of the cell I was editing is undone, without a possibility to continue undoing.

Steps to reproduce:

-click in a random cell and type some letters
-continue this  4 times
-when the last letter is typed, try to undo all your actions
-result: only what is typed in the last cell can be undone
-if you want to undo more, you need to select another cell
-expected result: first you undo the contents of the cell, then you undo the other actions

Hi Roelan, thanks for reporting.

I'm can't be agree on that being a bug.

When you are typing, you are on edit mode, so when all undo for the edit mode finish, no more undo actions, then you need to quit from edit mode, this is what select another cell does, i.e. typing ESC you can quit from edit mode and the undo actions are available again.

You are totally right. just checked this with Excel and the same behavior occurs over there as well.
