Description: In the hyperlink dialog in Writer, it is not possible to open the drop-down-list for the "Frame"-type by clicking the textbox. Its only possible by clicking the small triangle next to the textbox. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new Writer document 2. Click INSERT -> HYPERLINK 3. Click the textbox next to "Frame" Actual Results: Nothing happens besides the cursor blinking in that box Expected Results: I wish the drop-down-list with the available frame-options would be displayed Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: .
My other hyperlink-dialog-related Bug: 123123
Cannot reproduce with LO 6.4.2.2 on Windows. Can you try with a recent version please?
Ah sorry, I tried the "Form" dropdown instead of the "Frame" combo box. The reason this does not pop down is, that it's a different widget. It's a combo box with editable content. @UX: Does it make sense to replace the "Frame" combo box with a dropdown?
(In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) from comment #3) > @UX: Does it make sense to replace the "Frame" combo box with a dropdown? If the number of items is limited to the predefined the dropdown is the correct widget. And I don't see what a user can enter here. So yes, please make it a dropdown.
Well, a serious webdesigner could need custom frame-targets, but I doubt, that a serious webdesigner uses Writer for HTML-Editing ;)
The box is still a editbox and not a dropdown in 7.0 and 7.1 series
Could the frame also be empty? Or should it have a default target frame?
Thanks for taking that bug :) The default should be empty.
Btw, "empty" means, that no tag is written at all. So the resulting code should be: <a href="foo">foo</a> and NOT <a href="foo" target="">foo</a> Not sure if that has something to do with replacing the combo-box though :D
I will check if the target won't be written if the traget is not empty.

The patch sems to work fine. Tested with current master, the selection of the target is easier now. I also tested what happens, if you open a html-file that has a custom target -> nothing, no crash, or something :) Of course it doesn't "display" the custom target, but thats ok. Writer breaks that html file so much, that the target would be the least problem. So no web-developer would like to edit his html-files with Writer, exept some noobs maybe, and they should be fine with the predefined targets anyway.
