Comment 5 for bug 333139

I've found if I open Gnumeric and then try and open a file immediately, either using File->Open or by picking a file from the history, then the document will not accept any keyboard input. The text appears in the entry box at the top, but disappears when you press enter leaving the original cell contents.

If I start Gnumeric, type some content in the empty document and then try and load the existing document, then it works fine and I can edit the document as normal.

When the document is uneditable, the New/Open options in the file menu are also greyed out.
