Description Marco Filippozzi 2016-06-14 13:01:13 UTC
Description:
When you click with the left mouse button on the selection icon in the status bar in Writer, the selection switches to the next selection method and opens the dropdown menu, while clicking with the right mouse button only opens the dropdown menu.

Steps:
Open LibreOffice Writer.
Click on the selection Icon with the right mouse button.
Click on the Selection Icon in the Status Bar with the left mouse button.
Click again with the right mouse button and notice how the selection goes onto the next selection method.

Current Behaviour:
Clicking with the left mouse button opens the dropdown menù and switches the selection method while clicking with the right mouse button only opens the dropdown menù.

Expected behaviour:
Clicking with the left mouse button only switches the selection method while clicking with the right mouse button only shows the dropdown menù.

Comment:
This might be considered a bug since when you click with the right mouse button the selection doesn't change and the dropdown menu opens, but when you click with the left mouse button the selection changes and the dropdown menu still opens.

Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2016-06-14 14:43:36 UTC
Confirming, but several of the Satus bar buttons have functions that differ depending on a Left Mouse or a Right Mouse selection.

Zoom level, or Page style for example.
The Left mouse opens a dialog, the right mouse a pick list.

On the Selection button -- right mouse opens the pick list.  Left mouse opens the list and advances the selection type.

Originally, when Kendy changed the mode selection to a menu with
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f76fde91c4103812d924b973cec83a7b316a1f05 --both the Left and Right mouse actions had the pick list menu.

I looked, but couldn't find where the behavior was changed. But don't know that is necessarily wrong--but could be unintended of other changes.

@Kendy?

Comment 3 Jan Holesovsky 2016-06-15 12:12:42 UTC
If we want to limit the menu only to the right click, I think the right thing to do is to check rEvt in:

  bool SvxSelectionModeControl::MouseButtonDown( const MouseEvent& rEvt )

in file

  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/svx/source/stbctrls/selctrl.cxx

that it is the right button that triggered the action, and if it is, show the menu.

Samuel's fix in bug 82707 broke this functionality.
Comment 10 Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2016-09-08 08:08:24 UTC
This seems about right in current master. However, it's broken in 5.1.
Didn't test 5.2.

Not sure which master you tested, but it is still broken.

Comment 27 Harald Koester 2018-10-05 11:27:53 UTC
Checked with version 6.1.2 (64 bit, Win 10).

Works as expected according original description of this bug. Hence bug closed.
Thanks for fixing.

Comment: 
It's still not transparent which selection is currently used. You have to move the mouse pointer above the icon in order to get a tip with the current mode. I would expect different icons as described in bug 88477.
