Still repro

Version: 7.4.4.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 85569322deea74ec9134968a29af2df5663baa21
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (es_AR); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

FWIW, the following is working:
_ CTRL-A (i.e. complete text in formula bar or in cell);
_ selecting (either partially or complete text in formula bar or in cell) with mouse;

And, after selecting, CTRL-C also works.

What is still not working is, as reported, selection of part of the text be means of keyboard ([CTRL+]SHIFT+ARROWS) while in Read-only mode.
