CODE 6.4.7/6.4.8: Calc: Editing In Formula Edit Row Does Not Work at All Most of The Time

[gohrner]

Describe the bug
LO Calc:
A cell's formula / content should be editable in the edit row below the notebook bar. However, after the first time, the edit bar cannot get an active edit cursor.

Even worse, just double clicking the formula bar may delete the current cell contents... :-(

The description below was created using CODE 6.4.7.

However, CODE 6.4.8 exposes the same / similar behaviour:

LOOLWSD
6.4.8 (git hash: 4aa2794)
Angeboten von: 933fb759
LOKit
Collabora Office 6.4-36 (git hash: 3d919ce)
"Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS"

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Also see attached animated GIFs: Click a cell
2. Click the formula bar below the notebook bar
3. enter text
4. Click another cell
5. Click the formula bar again.
6. Click an already filled cell.
7. Click the formula bar again.

Expected behavior
At steps 3, 5 and 7, an edit cursor should appear in the formula bar which allows to enter text. In step 7, the previous cell contents should be pre-filled in the formula bar.

Actual behavior
In step 3, it works as expected.
In step 5, it's not possible to enable the formula bar.
In step 7, the cell's previous contents are deleted without warning and the formula bar still does not allow editing...

Hi Gohrner, I have tested this in CODE 6.4.10-5 on a Chromebook and it has worked consistently OK, can you still reproduce it?

Looks much better no! 👍
