Description Mac Dude 2022-01-18 21:20:20 UTC
Description:
In Calc, when I edit text in a word-wrapped cell and delete a few trailing lines, the lines do not disappear. They only disappear once I clock on another cell.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Format cells with word wrapping
2. type in the cell (not in the formula bar) text that wraps across several lines
3. Select, say, the last line or lines.
4. Hit the Delete button.

Actual Results:
The selected text stays in the display. It on ly disappears when I click on another cell. Note that the text vanishes from the formula bar (as it should)

Expected Results:
The selected text should disappear upon hitting the delete key.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I only observed it in LO 7.2.5.2, but it may have shown up earlier; I cannot check that anymore. Note that, while seemingly minor, it is actually annoying and prevents editing the cell further, one has to leave the cell first and then go back into the cell. So I call this bug "normal" rather than minor or cosmetic.

Toi the boxes below: I do not use a user profile, and checking for OpenGL seems complicated on a Mac, involving downloading software, so I did not do that. It is whatever the system does by default.

This has been reported before, but unfortunately I can't find the report right now.
