https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145812 Heiko Tietze changed: What|Removed |Added Status|NEEDINFO|NEW --- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze --- For sake of consistency we should respect the overwrite mode and delete the whole selection on keypress. However, this was probably implemented intentionally as a convenience feature. Imagine you have to press arrow right when you want to create a formula like =a1+a2+a3+a4... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145812 --- Comment #4 from Telesto --- Created attachment 176416 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=176416=edit Screencast Literally my exact steps (different location on the sheet), but the fact the the selected cell becomes 'black' is unfamiliar for me. And well the mixture of 'black' meaning you will overwrite and cases where this isn't the case is rather confusing in my perception. LibreOffice is here clearly different from MSO, but no clue if there is a some this is not a bug but feature logic behind it. So I complain about the mere presence of this behaviour, or the implementation of the feature. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145812 --- Comment #2 from LeroyG --- The "highlighting suggested 'overwrite' mode" works for clicking, not for typing nor backspace.
