Description Thomas Hackert 2018-09-23 10:13:09 UTC
Description:
Hello @ll,
I am used to configure LO using shortcuts and mnemonics. Now using the tab key to change to the different entries leads to a strange behaviour, so that you are not able to see where the cursor is at that moment ... :(

Sorry for the inconvenience
Thomas.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. install master parallel to your existing installation, following the description from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux
2. start LO
3. go to "Tools - Options"
4. use <Ctrl>+<n> to go to the field for the first name
5. either enter your first name or tab through the following fields
6. when reaching the field for email tab again

Actual Results:
On my system it is not clear where the cursor is at that moment. Also tabbing again does not indicate the cursor's position .... :( In former versions (also in 6.1.2.1) it goes to the Cryptography entries to change something there, but not with master ... :(

And this is also reproducible in other parts of the Options menu ("View", "Application Colors", "Language Settings" -> "Language", etc. ... :( It seems that the cursor gets lost in between and suddenly appears again on the Help button.

Expected Results:
You can use mnemonics and tabs to configure LO as in former versions.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

If you launch it with
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen /path/to/libreoffice
does it behave differently?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

Hello Thomas Hackert,
Do you still reproduce this issue with a recent master build ?

To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

no, it seems to be fixed in the meantime :) Though there seem to be loads of other strange new bugs ... :(

As I am usually installing in parallel (as mentioned in my first comment), I am using a fresh installation of LO.

Thanks for your patience and sorry, that my answer lasted so long ...
Have a nice afternoon
Thomas.
