Description Fco. Javier M. C. 2013-02-08 22:23:41 UTC 
I need to copy-paste cell content from read-only spreadsheet document but, it's not possible to select cell content using keyboard keys (shift + left/right arrow). It's possible with mouse. When I click inside the cell the cursos starts to blink but it's unusable.

Hi Francisco Javier, thanks for reporting.

Please can you verify if the option in:
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice Writer/Formatting Aids/Cursor in protected areas solve your issue.

Hello mariosv

First, this option is not available in Calc (spreadsheet), but I try through Writer, but without luck.

Thank you!

Hi Francisco,
writer works for me and the cursor is visible activating in:
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Accesibility - Use text selection cursor in read-only text documents.

I can confirm in calc it is not possible.
Version 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89)

Changed the status to new.

Please Francisco, change the importance from normal to enhancement, I think shows better the situation because this option was never available in calc.
