Description Mike Kaganski 2022-08-16 06:17:00 UTC
1. In a Writer document, make sure that Word Completion is enabled in Tools->AutoCorrect->AutoCorrect Options
2. Type some lengthy words (>= 8 characters by default, like "reasonable") to get them collected by Word Completion feature
3. Open Tools->AutoCorrect->AutoCorrect Options on Word Completion tab, see that there are collected words in the list, none of them selected, but the Delete button is enabled. Pressing on that button does not remove anything unless you select a word in the list.

The Delete button should be disabled whenever there's no selection.

Code pointer: OfaAutoCompleteTabPage in cui/source/tabpages/autocdlg.cxx; it calls m_xPBEntries->set_sensitive only when the list is empty - the solution would be to implement a selection event handler for the list, and set sensitivity in it.
Comment 3 Telesto 2022-08-16 13:50:19 UTC
In my opinion the first entry should be preselected, instead of disabling the button and enabling it after some selection..

At the point you have selected some entry the collected word list, you can't leave without having something selected anyhow (except you delete every collected word)

---
Side-note: delete from list doesn't mean it being instantly applied. The word completion keeps suggesting the word deleted, until you quite LibreOffice and restart (see bug 67826)

(In reply to Telesto from comment #3)

Or that - would be even easier to implement :)

Dear Mike Kaganski,

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
