Description Ilyse Kazar 2012-01-25 14:46:07 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a spreadsheet that has data in some cells. I have tested with .csv and .ods
2. Click on a populated cell, start typing a few letters (i.e., to replace what was there
3. Press Undo (Cmd-Z) to undo your edit (i.e., in hopes of restoring the original contents of the cell). Press Undo again. Maybe again. 

Current behavior: The Undo starts suggesting possible content matches from other cells. No matter how many times you press undo the original contents of the cell will not reappear. It appears that the auto-complete logic is somehow trumping the Undo logic.

Expected behavior: Undo should restore what was in a cell before typing.

NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC2 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: e371a95-bf68a13-5a1aa2b-d3c1ae9-b938258] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)  

@Ilyse Kazar:
May I ask you to read  hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport>?
Then please:
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot)
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem (and if possible how to created a 
  sample document from the scratch)
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- If you can contribute an OOo Issue that might be useful
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

Using 3.5.0RC3 on Mac Intel 10.6.8:

1. Typing into a populated cell, adding or deleting some chars from /within/ the content (i. e. changing "Altmann" to Altttmann", Cmd-Z does nothing at all.
2. same as 1, but instead writing at the end of the existing content (i .e. "changing "Altmann" to "Altmann is crazy"), Cmd-Z works like expected (every hit deletes the last added char respectively)
3. Same as 1, but leaving the cell (clicking into another one) Cmd-Z restores the former content of the changed cell as expected.

btw: All changes to a cell content are discarded when hitting ESC béfore leavinf the cell (instead of hitting, TAB RETURN, ENTER or clicking elsewhere will restore the former content always.
