Formula bar content test file (6.4.0.0.alpha0+)

If the content of the formula bar (input line) in Calc is one character longer than the visible formula bar input field, then all changes behind this character can't be undone/cancelled with the Esc key.

Every change before this mentioned character can be undone/cancelled with the Esc key.

You can test is by clicking at cell A1 in the attached test file and then goind to the formula bar and adding or deleting some characters at the end of the formula.

The formula bar shows the correct (real) content after going to another cell and then clicking again at the test cell.

Actual result:
Every change in a formula, which content is longer than the visible input field PLUS one character, can't be undone with Esc key.

Expected result:
Esc key should undo/cancel all input that was made since beginning of editing the cell.

Verified with LibO 6.2.4.2, 6.3.x.y and
6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

Dear Thomas Lendo,

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
