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.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2011-12-02 20:29:45 UTC
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.
Comment 5 Morten Welinder 2013-04-23 00:31:18 UTC
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.
