Description Adam Dingle 2013-05-06 10:28:19 UTC 
To see the problem, click in the current cell indicator area to place the keyboard focus there, then type Ctrl+A.  All spreadsheet cells are selected.  This is unexpected, since in GNOME apps Ctrl+A generally selects all text in the area with the keyboard focus.  It's also inconsistent with pressing Ctrl+A in the formula entry area to the right, in which case spreadsheet cells are not selected.

Hmm...

The goto box is a GtkEntry; the formula entry area is a GnmExprEntry which
is box with an entry in it.

The difference seems to be that while the GnmExprEntry is active, a number
of actions -- including select-all -- are inactive.  (Select-all has two
accelerators: ctrl-shift-space and ctrl-a.)
