Description Juergen Klatt 2019-08-29 14:30:17 UTC
Hello,

I have tested this with various german and english LibreOffice-Versions, this with different results. Can not therefore address every single issue.

Here some examples:
English version:
1. 
Pressing the [c] key causes the cursor toggles between OK and Cancel, and at the same time the letter "c" is written in the middle area.

2. 
The letter [h] is underlined in both the "Header option" and on the „Help-Button".

a) 
The „Header option“ only responds to the input of a single letter = [h]

b)
On the Shortcut [ALT] + [h] only the "Help". Here does not open the help, it is merely the button "Help" activated.

3.
Pressing the [i] key causes the cursor to be invisibly placed in the „Right Area“ at the same time an "i" is written to the previously activated area.
The same applies to the other two areas (left and center).

4.
In another LibreOffice Version, the underline of the letters are missing at (OK and Cancel).

5.
and so on...

These are some examples of several errors that affect the „Header and Footer Menu“ in this context.

Simply put:
1. The menu must not be controlled with individual letters ("c" for Center-Area)

2. If an underlined letter, this can be reached with the Keyboard-Shortcut [ALT] 
+ […]

3. The underlines must be unique and not "H for Header" AND "H for Help" at the same time.

Tested with:

@Heiko, I thought you might be interested in this issue...

Cannot confirm

Version: 6.2.7.1
Build ID: 6.2.7-1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; 
Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Insert > Headers and Footers... : alt+C toggles between "_Center Area" and "_Cancel" same for alt+H that switches between "_Header" and "_Help". It never adds characters to any list. 

We cannot guarantee unique accelerators as the l10n people assign it with the localization. Nonetheless it's desirable to assign it correctly by default.

@Xisco: Please double-check under Windows.

It's funny, but true: I thought you needed the Alt key, but for some things pressing a character key has an effect.

Just the h key makes it focus on the Header dropdown.

L, c and i keys move the focus in the Left, Center and Right areas. After this, you have to use Alt+[key] to get out of focus.

Will adjust summary to reflect the request "The menu must not be controlled with individual letters"

Dear Juergen Klatt,

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
