Also on the same version, but running Plasma/KDE-5.15.5, single tab moves to the cell on the right AND selects the main menu. :-/ > > Now, while the cursor is moved to the correct cell > > -- I can see the black border around it -- , > > I can't write in it immediately anymore. > > To move the cursor to the next cell and be able to immediately write in > > it, > > I need to press the tab key twice. > > It seems that somehow pressing the tab key once gives focus to the menu > > bar: pressing tab once, then pressing "F" brings down the file menu; > > pressing tab, then pressing "E" displays the edit menu and so on. > > Here, pressing Tab-Tab simply moves 2 cells to the right. Hmm ... are you running a non-KDE environment by any chance? I just tried LO on Englightenment and it works fine, BUT it runs with GTK icons. Various KDE DEs however exhibit the same behaviour here - double tab to move to the right cell and select it to be able to enter data. Another thing I tried is to launch it with: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 soffice On a plasma only system, it will not respect this incantation and About always shows "VCL: kde5; " so this leads me to conclude the problem is with the KDE compilation flag. If I remember I'll disable it on the next update and see what happens then. -- Regards, Mick
