new gnumeric Full History... select a file that does not exist anymore open an error message is shown, dismiss cancel the history try to type-> A1 does not start editing make sure the gnumeric window has focus by clicking in teh window title bar try to type-> A1 does not start editing note that when you click on the sheet proper, things start working again.
I see that. I can't quite believe it has much to do with history, but we probably somehow end up with focus in the wrong spot.
Note that this can still be replicated in current git.

With the recent changes in the history this is harder to trigger: one needs access the full history, then delete a file and finally select the deleted file in the history.
Simpler: just uncheck "Existing only" and pick a file that doesn't exist anymore. I added this to my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css: *:focus { background-color: red; background-image: none; -GtkWidget-focus-line-width: 5; -adwaita-focus-border-color: red; } I can't tell where focus is initially, but when I press [tab] it jumps to the first item on the first toolbar. Then it jumps to the first item on the second toolbar, etc. After toolbars it goes to the "A1" box and then finally to the sheet. Guess: nothing has focus initially.
Fixed. Not elegantly, but fixed. This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
