Description: In Calc, when editing a cell using the formula bar, the cursor in the sheet (thick rectangle border indicating current cell) completely disappears. This can sometimes make it a bit difficult to figure out which cell is being edited. Steps to reproduce: * New spreadsheet * Select a cell * Click in the formula bar to edit current cell Expected: I would expect to be able to edit the selected cell and still have a strong visual indication of which cell we are modifying. If not the standard cell border cursor, I would expect some other prominent visual cue. Actual: Our cursor is now gone. Aside from row/column headings being highlighted, we have a completely blank document with no indication of which cell we're modifying. Notes: This is quite trivial and I'm still not completely convinced that it's valid, but struck me as a decent enhancement request. It also becomes less of an issue when one has a sheet that is full of data. It is also quite easy to work around by either looking at the row/column headings or typing something in a cell and watching for motion. The cursor around the cell also disappears when editing the cell directly (f2 or double clicking a cell), but this behavior somehow seems more intended. Again, sorry if this is rather piddly, but I figure I'll at least attempt to report it!
Let's consult the UX gurus.
On the first glance it's true: the frame indicator should remain there. But when you go into edit mode the frame disappears as well in favor of the cursor, which is a good decision here. So I'm not sure if the current behavior needs to be changed.
We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword: Component -> LibreOffice Add Keyword: needsUXEval [NinjaEdit]
Closing since your idea didn't receive much interest. And I do not see a major issue here that needs to put effort in.
