Description fenugrec 2019-04-12 17:04:11 UTC
Hi,
hopefully not a dupe, I wasn't able to find something equivalent. I'd like some ideas on how to isolate the issue : computer A works fine, computer B doesn't.

Steps :
- fill in a few cells
- select row by clicking header
- ctrl+alt+click and drag
- expected : new copy of the row where the click was released.

Computer A works as expected.

Computer B always moves the row, never producing a new copy. I tried varying the  key/button release order. Also tried Safe Mode, as well as resetting my profile to Factory defaults.

Both computers run Artix linux with lxQt/lxdm with very similar package selections but of course different hardware.

So, is ctrl+alt+click somehow not being received by Calc ? How can I test this for sure ? I couldn't find any config or other running software that could be interfering or stealing the keypress events...

Thanks!

Cannot reproduce with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 31ac398cfa30694b18240d31df17a58d699b5bf6
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 

For the test, could you rename your LibreOffice directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and give it a new try? Thank you

Yes, I just tried a second time (I renamed the ~/.config/libreoffice/4 directory), no change.
Thanks

You can test it with xev:

Tried it again after a few openbox and LibreO updates... can't reproduce anymore.
