Description Telesto 2020-09-26 13:05:41 UTC
Description:
Unwanted scroll to cursor when closing /existing highlighting bucked pressing ESC with cursor on different page 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attachment 163710 [details]
2. Scroll down (single page or multi page view) (don't change the cursor position)
3. Click the highlighting bucked in the toolbar
4. Press ESC

A user case.. you're scrolling through a document.. highlighting stuff... you did it on page 5 the last time.. currently you're on page 10.. you notice.. nothing to highlight anymore. You press ESC. Jumping to page 5

If they last highlighting is on page 5, and you're on page 5 and press ESC nothing will change. So not seeing the object.. Currently ESC does 2 things.. disabling the bucket & causing a scroll (if the cursor is on a different page).


Actual Results:
Scroll to cursor

Expected Results:
Not so


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 Thomas Lendo 2020-09-26 21:32:41 UTC
Confirmed: The view jumps back to the caret (text cursor) position when pressing Esc or when clicking again on the Highlight Color button in toolbar/sidebar.

The highlighting feature is special as it's not directly acting on the position of the caret (as for example the Bold button does - at the position of the caret or the selected text the bold feature begins to act) but where the user select text anywhere in a document.

@Caolan
Any change to get you interested/motivated to solve some 'unwanted scroll' situations. It would be nice from usability point of view. I think. The solution is apparently a one trick pony: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135244#c12. Which apparently has to be applied on case by case basis :-(

See (meta) bug 106773 for list of those (recent bugs surely present, older once might need a check). 

Their is some change for asking more as happened in bug 135244. However I assume meta bug 106773 is covering the most of the ground). Mike got bit overwhelmed and bailed out ;-). Asked Julien, but he seems himself not expert enough to deal with locks.. so this might not be the easy hack I hoped it to be...

FWIW: Mike has a certain logic about which scrolls are allowed and which not. Also bug 135244. Not sure if there a bug around which don't qualify. I'm personally not really big fan of scroll to cursor. So I see this more often as an issue compared to Mike. Anyhow, lets tackle the stuff where everybody agrees on first..

As always; feel free to ignore.. or place it in queue for some day in so year.. there is no rush

Dear Telesto,

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
