Pressing Ctrl on the input line in Calc removes all formatting

[Miikka-Markus Alhonen]

In this scenario, I have a Calc cell with formatted text (italics, underlining, boldface, font color etc.). Now if I want to change the formatting of a part of that same cell afterwards, I would naturally select the cell, go to the input line, select the part I want to change and press the appropriate keyboard shortcut, e.g. Ctrl-I for italics. Now the problem is that if the cursor is on the input line, pressing Ctrl removes all formatting from that cell. Doing the same in the table view does not have the same effect, so I can change the formatting of text with keyboard shortcuts as much as I want in the table view. The expected behavior would be for the cell to keep its formatting even if I try to use keyboard shortcuts on the input line.

I can observe the issue with calc 6.0.3.2 on bionic.
That looks like an upstream bug report to me, would you mind filing one at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice and sharing the link here? Thanks!
