Description joeperry39 2017-02-25 14:48:37 UTC
I've run into a problem with the latest update in Calc ... when I am writing a descriptive note in a spreadsheet and I use the "&" all of the words entered prior to the "&" disappear and the entire line turns blue and locks.  I then have to go back and re-enter the information that I put in leading up to the "&" then skip past the "&" and continue the note.  

I don't remember this being a problem prior to the current release

What's the user interface language, and cell language?

Please try resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues.

Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu",  it affects all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.
