Description Christian Lehmann 2021-03-31 16:22:20 UTC
Description:
Menu 'Insert'
All the insertable things are identified by a letter, underlined in their name, so it suffices to hit the corresponding key. With one exception: 'Cross-reference' requires putting the graphic cursor on it and hitting this option. (This used to be better up to version 5.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit ALT-i.
2. Hit Arrow-Down' 15 times.
3. Hit Return.

Actual Results:
This is the way to activate 'Cross-reference'.

Expected Results:
After step 1, it should suffice to hit the 'r' key.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I tested in Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 42d2b2d55a27f11153ea1713737d93540a19211d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

I pressed Alt+I, than R, but the first option selected is Signatu[R]e Line, and with the next "R" pressed is selected "Cross-[r]eference". So, it is working but with Alt+I, and R twice.

I supose this is not a problem, since letter T is marking [T]ext box and also "Footnote and Endno[t]e".

So, I consider this to be verified, fixed.
