             Bug #: 46117
           Summary: EDITING: changes to formulae by clicking in a cell not
                    shown in formula bar
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: domwo...@gmail.com


Normally it is possible to edit an equation  by pointing and clicking on cells.
E.g. 
(1) type =
(2) click in cell A1
(3) type +
(4) click in cell A2

... the formula =A1+A2 is shown in the formula bar and applied to the active 
cell once <enter> is hit or <tick> is pressed.

However, 

If while entering a formula the user clicks in the formula bar to move the 
cursor location (for example, to enter text in the middle of an existing 
equation)
this ceases to work.  Specifically clicking in a cell fails to update the text 
shown in the formula bar even though it does change the formula saved once
<enter> is hit. 

Minimal method to reproduce bug:

(1) active cell is A3
(2) type = 1 + + 2
(3) click between the two +'s in the formula bar to edit the mistake in this 
equation
(4) click in cell A1
**** no change is shown in formula bar ****
(5) hit <enter>
**** contents of cell A3 are now = 1 + A1 + 2 *****

If at step (4) user click multiple times in A1 because they do not see anything 
happening, the cell reference will be added multiple times to the formula.
