Hello, thanks for reporting the bug. I can't reproduce the bug because LibreOffice won't let me select multiple tables. What are the steps you are using to select multiple tables at once? I've attatched the a file with a simple test case that I used. Can you also include the version information of LO that you are using by going to Help -> About LibreOffice and then copy and paste the information to your response. Setting status to NEEDINFO
What are the steps you are using to select multiple tables at once? I've attatched the a file with a simple test case that I used. Ctrl + A (several times A, in order to select all text) or click and drag the pointer in order to select the tables, if the tables are bigger than workspace it will jump Can you also include the version information of LO that you are using by going to Help -> About LibreOffice and then copy and paste the information to your response Version: 7.5.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 50(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: es-CO (es_CO.UTF-8); UI: es-ES Ubuntu package version: 4:7.5.5~rc2-0ubuntu0.23.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded
Reproduced the behavior on Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 4136757b4e51c4e6f7cb4132c95538a7f831ef2c CPU Threads: 1; OS Version: Linux 6.3; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Layout Engine: new; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group Changed earliest affected to version listed above as that's the earliest version I have available at the moment. It seems that none of the table attributes can be changed on multiple tables at a time. i.e. you can't change the border of multiple selected tables. You can change the text in each cell, when multiple tables are selected. This may have to do with how/what is actually selected, is it the table that's selected or is it the text inside the table? Updated steps to reproduce: 1. open attached simple table background 2. select all text by using Ctrl A(press multiple times as needed) 3. right click selection, go to table properties, select background, select color, select table, then change the color of the background The background of the multiple tables stays the same. Setting to NEW, may need to be considered as a UX improvement.
however, sometimes LO does not allow me to select some tables, somehow it is blocked, but I don't know how to reproduce it
