Description DErik 2022-02-26 23:16:03 UTC
Description:
When I go to the formula bar to edit a cell, I cannot select or position the mouse cursor within the first few characters of the entry. Also, the X and Checkmark are not selectable. Clicking on them does nothing. The formula selection icon is selectable though, and causes the current contents of the cell to be accepted while displaying the formula selection dialog.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a cell and position the mouse over near the beginning of the formula bar entry, say within 2 or 3 characters of the beginning.
2A. Click to set the cursor icon at that location. The cursor icon does not appear and you cannot enter anything into the formula bar.
2B. Double-click to select the first word in the cell. The word is not selected and cannot be replaced.
3. Attempt to click the checkmark just to the left of the formula bar entry. Nothing happens.
4. Attempt to click the X icon to the left of the formula bar. Nothing happens.
5. Move the cursor further to the right within the formula bar, say 4 or 5 characters from the beginning.
6. Click or double-click as directed in steps above. The cursor text icon appears or the word under the mouse is selected for editing.

Actual Results:
Cursor is not entered in the desired position of the formula bar text when the cursor is near the beginning of the text.

Expected Results:
Cursor text icon should appear in the text or the word should be selected for editing.


Reproducible: Always
