This happened with Calc in OO3.2 on WinXP.

I will attach a small sample document for quicker reproduction of the behavior.

What you need is
* a new calc document
* increase the width of the first column to something like double the default
* enter some text into a cell in the second column
* change the text property of this text to 'centered' alignment
* now double-click into the text of this cell and add some more text into it.
-> Beginning with a certain amount of text, the displayed text
   will hop to the left side. :(

The problem with this is, that this hopping of the text makes it impossible to
mark some of the text with the mouse. Once you try to click it you will hit the
neighbor cell and finalize the editing.

A nicer behavior would be to
* keep the text centered during editing, so that there is no difference between
the layout during editing (compared to the layout after editing)
* stay in editing mode if someone clicks into the edited text (directly in the
cell), even if this text is currently displayed on top of a neighboring cell.

Surely there is a workaround: you can just limit yourself to keyboard commands
while editing the text. But this seems unsatisfactory to me.

Also, I am used to the nicer behavior (as suggested above) from MS Excel (97).
So the user unfriendly behavior of Calc also bluntly contrasts to this expected
behavior.
