(sorry for empty initial comment)

SUMMARY
Value from the selected cell in one spreadsheet is exposed when another spreadsheet is opened. Apart from being just incorrect, this can lead to sensitive or personal data leaks.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a new spreadsheet
2. Enter "this is confidential" into any cell
3. With that cell selected, save and close the file
4. Open another file or create a new one
5. The edit field still contains the text "this is confidential"

This is still reproducible in Calligra 3.0.1. I'm attaching a screenshot of how it looks like after following the repro steps (cell value from the closed document is exposed in a new document, created after closing the one with that cell value).
