Created attachment 138358 [details] side by side samples of both delete methods Pasted some text from a web page into an empty sheet. Some of the text contained URL links. Deleting the URL text occurs differently depending on how it's deleted. Deleting with Delete key while cursor in: * cell works as expected. * text field deletes entire URL from cell; but only one character at a time in text field where eyes are focused. This tricks the user into needing more Delete key strokes which actually deletes the URL, then more text not intended to be deleted. See "Invalid display" in attached image.
By "Delete key" you apparently mean "Backspace key" judging by the screenshots. I copied "Created attachment 138358 [details]" from your description to Calc and I can only delete the whole URL. I never delete one character at a time. By "Text field" I take it you mean "Formula input field". I tried everything, but could not reproduce the "one char at a time" behaviour you observed. To ensure the chosen input matches, can you please confirm you get the problem with the "Created attachment 138358 [details]" block?

Created attachment 138542 [details] Spreadsheet to illustrate the problem Sorry; yes, Backspace. Here's a spreadsheet reduced to several cells copy/pasted from a browser page. Select a cell (only a portion will be visible in the Input Line); then click at the end of the Input Line, and watch what happens each time you hit Backspace... Examples (each BS deletes 1 character; but not where expected): cell A2: it deleted "cor" of "Host Record" so that it reads "Host Red" cell A4: same as A2 cell A8: it deleted "ut" of "Email Routing:..." => "Email Roing" cell A8: same as A2 cell A10: it deleted "ce" of "Service" => "Servi" cell A12: same as A2 Cells A8 and A10 don't follow the same deletion pattern as the others.

(In reply to Pierre Fortin from comment #2) > Created attachment 138542 [details] > Spreadsheet to illustrate the problem Ok, with this file I can reproduce for some reason. It is weird because the structure is the same in the XML: <text:a xlink:href="https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/713" xlink:type="simple">What's this?</text:a> <text:a xlink:href="http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=138358" xlink:type="simple">attachment 138358 [details]</text:a> Yet my copied attachment link does not behave like that with backspace.
