Description norbert2 2004-04-14 21:12:18 UTC 
Please try the following:

- Open an new spreadsheet

- give A1 any background color, for example "Light green"

- Select A1 (click into it while SHIFT holding down):
Now the color is changed to purple, because its selected. That's OK.

- enter ONE char (or digit), for example "a" (do not confirm):
The color stays purple.

- enter a second char or digit, for example an "a" again:
Now the color is changed to green....


I can't see any sense in this behaviour. I think when editing a cell, the color
should be immediately correctly shown.

Even if you think about to keep this "selected color" for the whole editing
process, I can't see any sense in changing the color after entering a second char.

Hi Niklas,

this behaviour applys also to OOo1.1.1

There is no need to set a special bg color.

- Just select a cell (click it while while holding down SHIFT):
The cell is black.

- enter one char:
The cell remains black.

- enter another char:
The cell is white.

So I think this problem is not so "abstract" because no special bg color is 
needed to reproduce the problem ...
It was my mistake that I have described the problem first with a special bg 
color.

Please forget the esntence:
"Even if you think about to keep this "selected color" for the whole editing
process, I can't see any sense in changing the color after entering a second 
char."

I think you want to switch from black to white like Excel when editing a 
selected cell in order to make the input better readable.
So the problem here is that the color is not switched before having entered a 
second character.

You must switch directly after entering edit-mode.

typing error:

"esntence" -> "sentence"
Comment 6 norbert2 2004-05-12 06:55:01 UTC 
Another problem is that the (black) selection-color is not expanded with the 
cell when editing:

- open the below attached screenshot

- select A1 (click A1 while holding down SHIFT)

- press F2 to enter edit-mode:

Only the non expanded part of the cell is black.

But this problem would also vanish, if you directly switch to the correct color 
after entering edit-mode, like I already have suggested in this issue.
