Description Hermann Döppes 2017-08-06 22:21:00 UTC
Description:
My keyboard layout has key(combination)s for undo and redo. Only the latter seems to be unsupported.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Obtain a keyboard layout which allows you to send the redo keysym. (In my case a slight variation of Neo 2 (http://www.neo-layout.org/))
2. Enter some text in calc / writer / impress.
3. Undo it.
4. Press redo key.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:
The text reappears, just like when I press Ctrl+Shift+Z or click the redo button.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Please note that the undo key works. While not all applications support this feature, LO is the first I discovered that supports only one of the keys.

I am willing to experiment further, but I (quickly) ran out of directions of investigation that seemed plausible to me.

Is it assigned on Menu/Tools/Customize/Keyboard?
Comment 2 Hermann Döppes 2017-08-21 08:55:41 UTC
No, it was not.

Try 1: Assigned these globally, closed Writer to experiment later. Upon restart, the setting was lost. (No Repro. When I tried this again, it preserved the setting. Probably PEBKAC due to awful UI.)

Try 2: Assigned only in Writer. Restarted Writer. Setting still there. Same behaviour as before.

Try 3: Assigned globally, too. Redundancy did not gain anything.

Try 4: Removed assignments for Writer, left global ones. No change in observed behaviour.

To summarize:
- The setting seems to have no effect.
- The customization dialog is extremely awful to use. (That should probably be its own report.)
- That assignment should probably be there by default, anyway.

Dear Hermann Döppes,
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
