Description Bernhard 2017-05-12 11:52:36 UTC

Description:
after inserting a new input field somewhere in the document, the cursor position ends up right before the field.
For other field types, like Date, Author etc., after inserting the cursor position ends up right after the field.

Steps to Reproduce:
open new document in LibreOffice
choose Insert->Fields->More Fields
go to tab "functions", select type "Input field", enter a reference and press Insert
in the lower box, enter "11111" and press ok

Actual Results:  
the cursor is before "11111", and new text and/or fields are inserted before the "11111" field

Expected Results:
the cursor is after "11111", and new text and/or fields are inserted after the "11111" field



Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Well, it *is* an input field so it would be logical to want to input stuff in it, right?

Comment 2 Buovjaga 2017-05-12 18:08:52 UTC

Ignore my previous comment.

It works OK in 3.6.
