Test Document

A large cell of a table extends over 2 pages of a text document. When you click in the cell on the first page, the cursor is automatically positioned so that you can write in the cell.

However, if you click in the relevant cell on the second page, the cursor is not automatically positioned so that you can write in it. When you type in a character, an error message will appear, indicating that the contents of the cell are write-protected.


Tested in LibreOffice 6.4.6 and 7.0 (on Windows and on Ubuntu Linux).

I confirm the error message with

Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: he-IL (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

Additional information
I can see a cursor in the cell (what is surprising, because there is o formatting mark), but error apears, if you start writing.

Sorry, you're right. I put cursor in wrong cell.

General steps:
1. Open document in writer and create a 2 x 2 table.
2. Merge cells of first column
3. Insert empty paragraphs into cell B1, until table is across two pages
4. Click in merged cell left from beginning of cell B2 and try to write something

Actual result:
It's possible to insert cursor at this position (Error message pops up when typing something)

Expected result:
Should be impossible to insert cursor at this position.
