Description Lionel Elie Mamane 2020-06-14 09:01:55 UTC
Description:
in a cell with at least two characters content, only one character can be deleted with the keyboard's "backspace" button.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an ODS file
2. click on the pencil icon to edit
3. if there isn't such a cell already, enter a cell and type at least two characters and exit the cell
4. enter a cell with at least two characters content
5. click on the formula editor space (near top of screen) to change it
6. (optional) move the cursor to any position within the string
7. press the backspace button on the keyboard
8. press the backspace button on the keyboard again
9. move the cursor within the string
10. press the backspace button on the keyboard again

Actual Results:
step 7 deletes a character
steps 8 and 10 have no effect

Expected Results:

Additional Info:
Collabora Office powered by loolwsd 4.2.3 (git hash aa5749c5) and LOKit Collabora Office 6.2-11 (git hash: aa5749c). Version 4.2.3, online git-hash aa5749c50, core git-hash 1467a33543f5. Since the latter is in the "distro/collabora/cp-6.2" branch, which branched off libreoffice-6-2, I put "6.2.8.2 release" in the version field in this bug. I hope that is reasonable.

Are you using AOSP keyboard?

Let's add another case that also occurs with AOSP keyboard here:

- in an empty document, switch to edit mode,
- as a bit of warmup, type a bunch of characters, and erase them
- type a few characters, eg. cvb

=> The first character will likely travel with the cursor, and the entered text becomes "vbc".
If it doesn't happen, repeat the warmup steps some more.

For the record, this is now solved with the following commit:

The originally reported bug still occurs.

Dear Lionel Elie Mamane,

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
