Description Kevin 2017-06-01 04:29:41 UTC
Description:
Cell designated as Text behaves as if it's designated to contain a formula

Steps to Reproduce:
(steps are also included in the attached spreadsheet itself)
1. right-click Cell C4 and choose Format Cells/Numbers
observe: the cell is set to "text" – telling Calc that it is not a number or formula – what the user types is what the user wants
2. enter the cell
3. deciding not to change anything, exit the cell by clicking in a blank cell
observe: Calc inserts the number of the cell, revealing that it is not treating the cell as text
4. exit the cell by hitting enter 
observe: Calc puts up a message explaining that it's found an error in the formula of this non-formula cell and proposing a correct
5. choose no (that's the workaround)


Actual Results:  
Setting a cell to text doesn't work properly

Expected Results:
Setting a cell to Text should allow the user full graphic control without any confusion and extra work caused by the program not treating the cell as text.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

following the steps explained in the description after step 5 hitting the no push  button the proposed correction is inserted anyway. It does not return to the previous content ( -- -- -- -- ) in C4.

Dear Kevin,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
