Description johannes.wandinger 2018-08-23 09:08:06 UTC
Description:
I want to insert a symbol (using the Omega icon) into a textbox within a drawing but nothing happens when I click on a symbol. This happens with any symbol in the menu. Inserting text via the keyboard works correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice Writer
2.Insert->Object->OLE-Object->LibreOffice 6.0 Drawing (? German: Zeichnung)
3.Click the icon to insert a textbox
4.Inserting text using the keyboard works correctly.
5.Click the icon to insert a symbol (Sonderzeichen einfügen) (OMEGA) and select any symbol. Nothing will happen.

Actual Results:
Nothing happened, i. e. the selected symbol was not inserted into the textbox.

Expected Results:
The symbol should be inserted into the textbox at the cursor's position.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Works correct with Insert -> Symbol. If the symbol symbol (the big Omega) is clicked, "Favorites" and "Last Used" does not work, but "further symbols" does. (Text is translated to English from my German user interface, so maybe the actual names are slightly different)
