Confirmed. Set status to NEW. Best regards. JBF
While having a look at bug 86065 I saw, that we have two help pages: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/shared/02/20050000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN and https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/swriter/01/selection_mode.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN Perhaps the two help pages can be merged after adding menu entries.

The statusbar functions are in svx/source/stbctrls/selctrl.cxx, missing UNO commands like uno:SelectionModeBlock and uno:SelectionModeDefault. Don't see how the other options becomes activated, maybe per INetURLObject aObj( m_aCommandURL ). Hossein, is this easy hackable? And shall we make the menu call UNO commands instead of doing some other magic?
Dear Rizal Muttaqin, 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.

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.
