Description Cor Nouws 2013-10-04 13:39:09 UTC 
- Start typing in a cell, that is not in editing mode, just has the focus
- Decide that you need to go back in what you typed (arrow left).
  Then first you need to hit F2

So far so good. But what if you work in the cell a bit longer and do not remember if you already hit F2 ?

- Hitting F2 again makes that the cell looses editing mode, because it works as toggle function.

This is not needed.
Hitting F2 when the cell is in editing mode, should not leave that mode

@Cor
do you think that Bug 73192 is somewhat related to your report?

@tommy,

thanks for the hint. 'somewhat´'yes, maybe ;) but a developer will probably be able to show the problem is somewhere else in the code. So personally I would not link those.

probably Bug 63374 is more related.

This toggle behavior would be OK, if LO displayed the enter/edit state like MS Excel.
