I am not sure what "field" in this report refers to, however there does appear to have been a general change in behaviour between v3.3 and v3.4 with respect to how the ENTER key is interpreted after performing a copy/paste action. This may be what this bug is referring to however until this can be clarified I am setting the status to NEEDINFO.

My understanding of problem:

1. Start Calc.
2. Enter "abc" in cell A1.
3. Copy (CTRL+C) this cell.
4. Move selection to cell B1.
5. Paste (CTRL+V) - places copied value into B1, cell is highlighted.
6. ENTER unhighlights cell B1.
7. Subsequent use of ENTER/TAB is as expected i.e., move selection either down or to the right.

Under Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 running v3.3.0.4 OOO330m19 Build: 6 and Crunchbang 11 x86_64 running v3.3.4.1 OOO330m19 Build: 401 those steps describe the behaviour. Under Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 running:

- v3.4.6.2 OOO340m1 Build: 602
- v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b
- v3.6.7.2 Build ID: e183d5b
- v4.0.6.2 Build ID: 2e2573268451a50806fcd60ae2d9fe01dd0ce24
- v4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a

... the behaviour is different. After step 5:

6. ENTER does not remove cell highlighting (it removes moving dashes from around A1).
7. Subsequent use of ENTER/TAB does nothing - a cursor key or mouse click is required to move the selector to another cell.

It is possible this is a bug that overrides the setting under Tools > Options > LbreOffice Calc > General > Input settings section > Press ENTER to move selection "Down".
