Description: Calc does not support selecting several words in comments by double clicking a word and then moving the mouse to select other words. This behavior is supported by Writer and many other editors. Calc should support word selection in comments as well. Behavior in Writer test: 1. Paste "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit" in a Writer document. 2. Double click the word "ipsum" -> the word "ipsum" is selected 4. Move the cursor over "dolor" -> "ipsum dolor" is selected 5. Move the cursor over "sit" -> "ipsum dolor sit" is selected Steps to Reproduce: 0. Open a Calc spreadsheet. 1. Add a comment to a cell. 2. Paste "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit" into the cell comment. 3. Double click the word "ipsum" -> the word "ipsum" is selected 4. Move the cursor over "dolor" -> "ipsum dolor" is not selected, only "ipsum" is selected 5. Move the cursor over "sit" -> "ipsum dolor sit" is not selected, only "ipsum" is selected Actual Results: Only one word is selected in comment Expected Results: Several words are selected in comment Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.0.3.1 Build ID: 00(Build:1) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: GL; VCL: kf5 Locale: de-CH (en_US.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded
Roland, are you sure in this: 1. Paste "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit" in a Writer document. 2. Double click the word "ipsum" -> the word "ipsum" is selected 4. Move the cursor over "dolor" -> "ipsum dolor" is selected 5. Move the cursor over "sit" -> "ipsum dolor sit" is selected ??? I'm not I see on step 3 that it still selected only "ipsum". After double click on one word I get selected the word and if I move the cursor to another word I still have selected only the one word. I use Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ac80ec817eb07c77a51bc0729985a473c734182e CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded may be we have another behavior in vcl:kf5 ???
Hi Roman The selection steps in writer work for me also in Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f4b14a806b4952da79c7b5b22298e8c8306107c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: x11 Locale: de-CH (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.1.5.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 85f04e9f809797b8199d13c421bd8a2b025d52b5 CPU threads: 1; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-CH (de_CH); UI: en-US Calc: threaded So, not specific to vcl:kf5. Maybe, I should clarify that the cursor movement is by mouse.
Roman, maybe you tested in Calc and not in Writer? Calc missing this feature is Bug 127183. I thing that bug definitely needs to be fixed before or at the same time as this bug here: would be weird to have this kind of selection supported in comments but not in the cell! Confirmed in: Version: 7.3.2.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded and also: Version: 6.4.7.2 Build ID: 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.4 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded but I assume this is inherited from OOo.
(To clarify my comment above: Roman, maybe you tested the working multi-select behaviour in a Calc cell rather than in a Writer document, which is what Roland used to demonstrate the expected behaviour.)
Dear Roland Kurmann, 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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
