Description David García 2025-08-22 22:25:41 UTC
Description:
The text you've just cut from a cell in Calc stays visible until you move to a different cell.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type some text in a Calc cell and click <ENTER>.
2. Double-click on the previous cell.
3. Select the whole text of the cell.
4. Press <CTRL>+<X>.

Actual Results:
The text you've just cut stays visible until you move to a different cell.

Expected Results:
The normal behaviour in LibreOffice (and in every programme I've used as far as I can remember) is that, as soon as you press <CTRL>+<X> on some text you've already selected, the text disappears (until you press <CTRL>+<V>) to indicate that the text will be cut and not copied. However, in LO 25.8.0.4, the text stays visible until you move to a different cell.

I've noticed that, if you select part of the text of the cell, then things work as expected. The issue only seems to happen when you select the whole text from the cell.

More info about it.

If the text of the cell takes the space of the cell next to it, then when I click <CTRL>+<X>, this part of the text does disappear.

This has only been seen in version 25.8 for Windows.
The latest Windows master build 26.2 [2025.07.23] does not have this defect.
The Linux version does not have this problem.
I thought it was a specification change, but this phenomenon is limited, so I judge it as a bug.
