Description Dan Dascalescu 2025-10-24 03:13:28 UTC
1. Enter "abc" in a cell
2. Press F2 on that cell
3. Press Shift+Home to select the entire "abc" text
4. Press Shift+Delete

Notice that "abc" is still shown, but after pressing Enter, it will disappear.

This seems like a regression.

The behavior happens when selecting the entire contents of the cell before pressing Shift+Del.
Comment 1 BogdanB 2025-10-24 05:29:55 UTC
Confirm the behaviour with
Version: 25.8.2.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: d401f2107ccab8f924a8e2df40f573aab7605b6f
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: ro-RO (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

But I can not confirm it is a bug or not, I have not researched the beahviour in the oldest versions.

Dan, would be nice if you could find a working well version. To know when the problem apear.
Comment 3 Dan Dascalescu 2025-10-24 06:34:39 UTC
@Bogdan: 24.8.7.2, which was also generally faster than 25.8.1.1 (haven't tested enough against 25.8.2.2 yet).
