Description saha 2014-12-17 19:44:35 UTC
Problem description: when typing into a cell the cursor automaticly go to top even if i have choosed an other vertical position

Steps to reproduce:
1. change vertical position other than TOP position
2. Type something

Current behavior: see problem description

Expected behavior: when typing into a cell the cursor should stay at the position that I choosed. It's not a real problem, but I think that it will give some fluidity when typing and maybe save some memory.

Sorry for my english

Best reguards

Thanks for the report. This is a very old but annoying issue.

Two things I want to note...

1.
If you have something middle-aligned on a very high row (because neighbor cells contain much text) there is a enormous jump to the top of the string to be edited.

A               B                             A               B

                45646465                      middle-aligned  45646465
                56465465                                      56465465
                TestText                                      TestText
middle-aligned                     ==>> 
                45646465                                      45646465
                56465465                                      56465465
                TestText                                      TestText

[View mode]                                   [Edit mode]


2.
There is functionality lost caused by this bug. In general it is possible to enter edit mode with a double-click exact on that position where you want to have the caret. With this bug the caret is always at the end of the cell content after a double-click.
Interesting: If you manage to double-click on the expected position at the cell top where the text will jump to, the caret will be at the intended position.

Adjusted importance because of the extreme jumps described in my last comment.
