Description Tony 2021-02-07 12:03:30 UTC
Description:
Cannot navigate through the cells in a table control in Base, either using tab and/or the navigation keys on the keyboard. Makes the forms with this pretty much unusable.

In previous versions it worked as expected, and has done for a number of years

Steps to Reproduce:
Open any form with a table control

Actual Results:
Unable to tab between cells. Occasionally you can, but no clear pattern. Alos, on the sporadic occasions that it does, text is not selected.

Expected Results:
Should be bale to navigate left to write between cells using the tab key

Should be able to navigate up,down,left or right depending on navigation key used


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Comment 1 Robert Großkopf 2021-08-29 07:14:46 UTC
Couldb't confirm any buggy behavior here with 

Version: 7.2.0.4 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 9a9c6381e3f7a62afc1329bd359cc48accb6435b
CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US

and also with LO 7.1.0.3 on the same machine.

Could be it is a special gtk3-bug.

Try to start LO by
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen ./soffice
And test it without gtk3.
