Repeats the bug description with screenshots
I have not looked for previous cases that may have been reported.
As the years go by this issue has got worse in a Calc sheet:
1. The cell text re-arranges itself
2. Selecting a character string to change its colour to red sometimes does
not work, or adjacent characters are turned red instead of the selected
character string
3. Sometimes, instead of using the input line, double clicking the cell
enables the text colour to be corrected, but not usually the re-arrangement of
text
4. Correcting the re-arranged text often makes it worse
5. This does not happen with every cell. Date cells seem immune, but
character strings often behave this way, but not in every new selected cell.
Each row is a new entry
6. Deleting the text, waiting for an unspecified time, and typing from
scratch can be successful
7. Re-arrangements may not be noticed, or occur after or during the save
and or close file action
8. This is not obviously repeatable. It depends on the day an entry is made
or the cell chosen for an entry
Attached: screenshots taken today and the Calc file.
After selecting the screenshot attachment I had to submit this entry before
submitting the Calc file, as the Attachment stated "Don't add an attachment"
