Description Christian Lehmann 2024-10-09 07:32:13 UTC
Description:
A cross-reference field (ALT-I, R, Cross-References, Selection, Insert) in the running text should be clickable. In the current release, it is dead.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a cross-reference field in your running text.
2. Click on it.

Actual Results:
Nothing happens. Instead, you have to do a Ctrl-click for being taken to the reference target.

Expected Results:
In previous versions, a simple click took you to the reference target.
I seem to remember that the same bug occurred some versions ago and was then fixed.


Reproducible: Always

To be taken from the reference to its target, you have to do a CTRL-click on it; a mere click does nothing.

This is a changed behavior since LO 7.6.: You have to press Ctrl. Then you could click with mouse and reference will work.

Same here with LO 7.6.4.2 and also all following versions of LO on OpenSUSE 15.6 64bit rpm Linux.

But: I haven't found any hint for this in release notes of LO 7.6. So I will set this one to new.

Robert, this is just what I reported. As I said, it is at least the second time that it occurs. And whether or not it is intended, it is not helpful. As long as a simple click has no function, there is no need to provide for a CTRL-click.
