Description stokestack 2023-09-26 20:52:17 UTC
Description:
Attempts to select a diacritic for a character with the cursor (clicking on the diacritic options) do nothing. Only selection via a number key works.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press and hold a key that offers diacritics, like N.
2. While the diacritic pop-up is on the screen, use the mouse to click on it with the cursor

Actual Results:
The diacritic pop-up disappears, but the selected version of the character is not inserted.

Expected Results:
The selected diacritic is inserted.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Cursor/click-based selection works in other (non-LibreOffice) applications.

I will attach screen grabs.
