Package: gnumeric Version: 1.10.17-1.1 Severity: important A detrimental change in the behaviour of gnumeric appears to have been recently triggered. Previously it was possible to use the cursor keys (arrow keys) to navigate around the worksheet. This would simply move the focus onto a different cell, same as left-clicking into the cell with the mouse button. This was useful for Ctrl-C copying or for viewing the underlying formula in the formula input box. You could then edit the cell if you wanted to by pressing F2. If you were in edit mode, you could exit (leaving the cell contents unchanged) by pressing the Esc key.
Now (apparently just in the last week or so), the edit mode has gone cancerous, triggering where it is unwanted, deleting content, no longer exiting via Esc. For instance when using an arrow key to move the focus, instead of simply changing focus to the next cell, edit mode on the next cell is trigger, with blank contents (existing contents are erased). The Esc key does not work, does not exit from edit mode. The only way to exit edit mode is to click with the mouse button in a different cell, at which the "edited" cell is left blank, previous contents remain erased. Pressing enter when editing has a similar deleterious effect to the cursor keys. That is, the edited contents are in that case retained, but when the cell focus moves down to the next cell below, it automatically enters edit mode (which is ok in that context), but also automatically erases any existing content (not so ok). Again, in this case Esc fails to exit edit mode, and exiting by mouse click elsewhere leaves the cell blank (the next cell that received focus after pressing enter). For me this bug is really Severity: grave, as it effectively causes data loss and makes the program unusable. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.4-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnumeric depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.45 ii gconf2 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gnumeric-common 1.10.17-1.1 ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libgoffice-0.8-8 0.8.17-1.2 ii libgsf-1-114 1.14.21-2.1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-5 ii procps 1:3.3.3-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages gnumeric recommends: ii evince 3.4.0-2+build1 ii lp-solve 5.5.0.13-7 Versions of packages gnumeric suggests: ii epiphany-browser 3.4.2-1+build1 ii fonts-liberation [ttf-liberation] 1.07.2-5 ii gnumeric-doc 1.10.17-1.1 ii gnumeric-plugins-extra 1.10.17-1.1 ii ttf-liberation 1.07.2-5 -- debconf information: * gnumeric/existing-process: true gnumeric/existing-process-title: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
