Default Protect Sheet: clicking in cells removes all previous text

I protected a sheet because I have formulas on the sheet. So, I locked those
cells and left the rest of the cells unlocked. When the sheet is protected,
if I click in a cell and try to add text to the cell, it deletes all the
previous text. Is there any way to stop that from happening?

Default Protect Sheet: clicking in cells removes all previous text

Rather than just clicking in a cell and typing, click in the cell and hit the
F2 key to add text to the end of the data in that cell
