Red Frame before entering info

Somehow the frame around the selected cell in Calc is now red (pix). I have checked repeatedly, 'Record Changes' is - NOT - selected.

When I start entering info, the red frame disappears.  Calc seems to work OK, but just now I went to Paste the contents of one cell into several cells at once, only the first cell was replaced; I tried several times, same thing.  I had to manually paste the contents into each cell.

I'm not sure there is a bug here. It might just be 2 unrelated issues (color of focused cell, and copy+paste incident).

Regarding the color around the cell that has the current focus, this might just be (quote):

"Cell cursor now uses the system's highlight color instead of the default font color to improve visibility tdf#142121 (Natalia Gavrilova)"

which was introduced in LO 7.3:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.3#General_improvements_2

This is just a suspicion/hunch, as I don't have a real indication that what you are actually seeing is this. If it is (and even if it isn't), there are several related questions (and answers) at ask.libreoffice.org.

Colors depends on system theme. You can change the colors in Gnome settings. Closing as notabug

The second "paste" bug I cannot reproduce  with Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: cs-CZ
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

If you can still reproduce the Paste bug, open new one and provide steps to reproduce. Thank you
