Description Rod Butcher 2005-01-07 04:40:25 UTC
When inserting/modifying text in a cell, the insert cursor, and hence where the
text is actually inserted/modified, is one line below where the mouse pointer
was actually left-clicked.

Please give a more detailed example.
Comment 2 Rod Butcher 2005-01-07 14:26:28 UTC
This only occurs with the default text alignment, which is "bottom".
Enter 1 or more lines of text into the cell.
The go back to this cell, and double left-click on the cell to bring up the data
entry cursor. Left-click to position data-entry cursor on text.
The cursor will appear, and data will be entered/deleted, 1 line below where you
left-clicked. I.e. if there are two lines of text, clicking on the first line
will cause the data to be entered on the second line. If you click on the second
line, no data can be entered.

If cell text alignment is changed to center or top, the problem does not occur.

Now I see. It works fine for me if I follow your instructions, but I see the
problem if  I increase the height of the row so that there is the equivalent of
several rows empty space on the top. The clicks work as if the text is alligned
at the top, so if I click relatively low in the cell, the click has no effect at
all.

Fixed in CVS.  Patch will be in 1.4.2.
