Description hardy 2019-09-17 19:14:27 UTC
Description:
In impress, when I mark a table (i.e. click it once) and then press an arrow key (e.g. arrow left) then the table does NOT move. (Instead the curser jumps into a table cell.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new slide show in impress
2. put some text into the title text box and the content text box
3. now insert a "table", e.g. by "insert" - "table..." from the menue. (5 by 2 is fine)
4. click somewhere outside the table with the mouse.
5. now click once onto the border of the table, to mark it "as a whole".
6. press an arrow key on the keyboard, e.g. arrow left

Actual Results:
The table does NOT move. Instead the cursor jumps into one of the cell in the table. (Repeating the array key then moves the curser from cell to cell.)

Expected Results:
I expected the whole table to move in the direction of the key stroke. (Because this is also how I move images around in Impress.)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This behavior makes it very difficult to fine position a table in a slide show. You can only position it with the mouse (but you need to precisely "hit" the thin border of the table to make this happen.) It would be much easier to do it with the keyboard, using the arrow key, and maybe additionally the Alt-key (as I am used to by moving images around in Impress slide shows.)

You can move it just fine, if you manage to select the table, so only its borders appear as selected. It is very difficult to do this, though. There is a bibisected bug for this hit area issue: bug 117485

I think everything would be cool, if bug 117485 would be fixed, so I will close this as duplicate.
