Describe the Bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Steps to Reproduce

I am using the Android version of Collabora through the NextCloud app and reproduced the same behavior in the web version of NextCloud using DuckDuckGo as the browser.

  1. Open a .ods spreadsheet.
  2. Enter text in a cell.
  3. Highlight part of that text you just input, and delete it. [Note that here, this change will be reflected in the little white cell editing box at the top but not in the global view of the spreadsheet.]
  4. Type any other contents or leave the cell empty.
  5. The new cell contents will not save, nor will the selected section of text be deleted.

Expected Behavior

I expect when I highlight and delete text in a cell of a spreadsheet, it will actually delete.
I expect when I subsequently type content into the cell, that it will save.

Actual Behavior

It doesn't get deleted and the new text does not save.
The only way I have found around this is to delete the contents letter by letter, holding down the delete key rather than being able to select the text to be deleted.
A clear and concise description of what actually happens.

Screenshots

Step 1. Highlight text to be deleted

Step 2. Delete text in cell editor. Note the change is not reflected globally in the spreadsheet

3. Press the green check mark to save the cell contents, but instead it ignores the edits and remains the same as before the text was selected for deletion.
