Description Craig 2016-04-20 19:11:26 UTC
LibreOffice 5.0.3.2, Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon x64.

I used to be able to double click into a date formatted cell to edit it's content. In 5.0.3.2 the cell content disappears and the value has to be edited in the formula bar at the top.

Hidden date sample

On preparing the sample I noted the date is editable in-place if the zoom level is above 70%. Not if below. Yet other types of cells are.

Craig, please test with newer version. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/  or http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/

Thank you

Hi, I'm just a user, not a developer. If you think it's been fixed on a more up to date version then fine, I'll wait to be updated in due course with the OS.  My full version details are.

Version: 5.0.3.2
Build ID: 1:5.0.3~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty2
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8)

It's just an annoyance as I'm working on a 32" 4K screen so while the cells are physically big enough, the date cells blank out when clicked into, whereas plain text cells of the same size don't.

Thanks for looking into it.

We are not developers either, we are just users.

You can test with this method without affecting your existing installation: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux

It seems otherwise you would have to update your whole operating system.
