Description Telesto 2017-02-14 20:17:41 UTC
Description:
The final result when crossing the table cell border while trying to select a single line of text using the mouse is a table cell selection. The selection can't be corrected in the same session. 

Steps to Reproduce:
Dragging from right to left
1. Open the attached file
2. Select 'GHI' by clicking and holding the left mouse while starting from I to G (and cross the inner cell border (purple line)) ->  both cells get selected
3. While still in the selection process, 'retry' to select only 'GHI'

Version B: dragging from top to bottom
1. Select 'GHI' and 'CCC' by clicking and holding the left mouse and start selecting at 'G' and dragging downwards (trespassing the red line).  
3. While still in the selection process, 'retry' to select only 'GHI'


Actual Results:  
When crossing the inner cell border both cells are selected. That's how it should work. However, it's now impossible to undo the right cell selection and only select 'GHI'

Expected Results:
It should still be possible to only select 'GHI'


Reproducible: Always

This has actually annoyed me for ages, but there is no existing report..
Let's lower priority+severity even further, though.

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
