Bug ID: 165811
Summary: UI: ONLY in L.O. CALC!: In a cell, to SELECT a
character mouse cursor must hover AFTER THE CHARACTER
(instead of, as is normal, preceding a character) …
Safe Mode does not fix … "Clear Direct Formatting" IN
a cell sporadically fixes …
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.1.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc

Description:
ONLY in L.O. CALC!: In a cell, to SELECT a character mouse cursor must hover
AFTER THE CHARACTER (instead of, as is normal, preceding a character) … Safe
Mode does not fix … "Clear Direct Formatting" IN a cell sporadically fixes … if
mouse cursor is hovered in front of a character and mouse is clicked & dragged,
the cursur jumps in front of the character immediately preceding the one
desired to be SELECTED. "Work-Around: Always hover mouse pointer AFTER the
character that you want to select in a cell & cursor will "jump" in front of
the character that you want selected. This "bug" DOES NOT OCCUR in L.O. Writer
(cursor & character selection behave normally as expected & as in other
programs).
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In a L.O. CALC cell containing text or digits, hover mouse cursor preceding a
character as if to select the character;
2.CLICK the mouse button & attempt to select the character desired when
hovering;
3.Cursor will immediately jump to the character or digit immediately preceding
the one desired.
Actual Results:
Cursor will immediately jump to the character or digit immediately preceding
the one desired.
Expected Results:
Cursor is supposed to START from the insertion point preceding a character and
then be able to be dragged to the right over said character & select said
character (instead of immediately jumping in front of the character preceding
the character desired).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
There was no Help from LibreOffice regarding this matter. Research using AI
tools such as CoPilot, ChatGPT, & Grok were used and despite their best
troubleshooting techniques, the problem was not able to be resolved and they
recommended filing a Bug Report.
