Description Rafael Lima 2023-04-14 19:41:55 UTC
When you open a formula that is centered in a cell and it extends beyond the column width, it is not possible to click the formula text to the left of the cell. It is however possible to click the text to the right of the cell.

Steps to reproduce:
0) Create a blank Calc document
1) Enter a long formula text on a cell, f.i. =SUMPRODUCT(C10:C16;D10:D16)-SUMPRODUCT(F11:F15;G11:G15)
2) Do not change its alignment for now... simply double-click the cell and notice that the formula text will align to the left edge of the column where it is located, and all formula text is clickable (this is OK).
3) Now click outside the cell to stop editing the formula. Use the toolbar to center the cell contents
4) Double-click the cell. The formula text will be centered and the formula text that goes beyond the left column edge is not clickable (Not OK). The formula text to the right is clickable as expected.

From my testing, it happens in gtk3, kf5 and gen.

Dear Rafael Lima,

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
