Description Florian Effenberger 2012-10-10 13:44:44 UTC
I have a document here where I cannot edit a frame by clicking into it. The frame just does not get the focus (iow. no blinking cursor). When I do Ctrl+click or a right click, it opens the context menu and the frame gets its focus, so this is my workaround at the moment.

I was not able to reproduce that behaviour when creating a new document, but it might be related to the Mac focus problems we recently had.

As the document is an official letterhead, I'd prefer to send it to someone privately to have a look.
Comment 1 Florian Effenberger 2012-10-10 13:45:23 UTC
As it's an official TDF document, adding three fellow BoD members to recommend someone to have a look :)

Template for writing different letters in Writer

Different pagestyles called "Briefseite1" and "Briefseite2" with multiple textframes. The textframes contain placeholder and other pre-defined values.
You can test the bug by editting the top border e.g. in the style "Briefseite1". After that try to edit the different textframes.

I can reproduce this error when using the installed or the portable edition of LO 3.6.2.2 on Windows 7 64bit. But it only occurs if the frames are not in the area from a "normal" page like you get if you start a new document.
I changed the top-border of the first page back to a normal size (2 cm from top) and then the frames are in the page-area and I can edit them as normal. If I have my top-border edited to 13 cm from the top, the frames are out of this area and the focus error occurs.

This error wasn't in a portable (maybe also installed) version of LO 3.6.1.2.

Shouldn't status be changed to confirmed and regression (as it was in my duplicate report - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55937 )?
Comment 6 manj_k 2012-10-13 11:07:13 UTC
Added keyword 'regression'.

From bug 55937:

Confirmed (on WinXP 32b) with

Works fine with LibO 3.5.7.2.

Also works fine with LO 3.6.1.
Comment 9 Michael Meeks 2012-10-29 16:06:28 UTC
Ho hum, I wonder if this is a side-effect of the click-to-add-header/footer change there. It'd be lovely to get a git bisection.

mine and dupe

Comment 11 Harald Koester 2012-11-01 17:32:55 UTC
This bug occured the first time with Version 3.6.2. So it can't be a duplicate of a bug, which occured already with Version 3.5.x. Hence reopened.
Comment 12 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2012-11-01 22:56:27 UTC
Then let's reopen it all the way.

Thanks a lot for the fix, works for me now :)
Comment 16 Karsten Henning 2012-12-03 11:53:18 UTC
The Attachments don't work in Version 3.6.4.3!
It ist the same behavior as befor.
Comment 17 manj_k 2012-12-03 12:29:49 UTC
Apparently fixed with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e8fbe97900f13305b17015d9044993bde4adab36 (bug 52182).

[See comment #14, comment #15]

Marked as WORKSFORME.

For suggestions to backport to 3.6 branch: Bug 52182 - cannot put cursor into frames with Wrap "In Background" (RESOLVED FIXED · target:4.0.0).
Comment 18 Robert Großkopf 2012-12-03 15:39:34 UTC
Works for everybody, who would use 4.0.0.0 Alpha 1+, but didn't work with LO 3.6.4.3.
Could we say, that this is "solved"? Couldn't it be solved for any 3.6-version?

Comment 21 Andreas Ziegler 2013-01-26 18:27:53 UTC
i am reopening this bug because with my files and the attached testfile it still doesn't work with 3.6.5 RC2, so the patch from bug 52182 doesn't solve this one :-(
Comment 22 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-01-27 08:21:09 UTC
I tried to find a problem with 3.6.5.2 in Sample "2012-10-12 09:45 UTC, Roman Schleicher"  by opening the document and a copy in ad 4.0.0.2 (to compare the behavior.

Steps how to reproduce (do steps parallel in both versions):

0. Launch LibO
1. Open Sample document from Start Center
   > In both documents caret flashed in front of "Sehr geehrte"
2. Move mouse pointer to Word "Betreff" between "TR"
   > In both documents mouse pointer view changes to "Hand"
3. Mouse click
   Expected (as in 4.0): Place holder field becomes selected, typing some letters
            will replace the placeholder by your text
   Actual (With 3.5.6.2): you can't access elements in top margin and bottom 
   margin area (even if they also  are in left margin or right margin area).

So [Reproducible] with Server Installation of "LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 rc" German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 5b93205] {pull date 2013-01-18} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit).

I think I already am involved in a Bug concerning at least very similar effects (if I remember correctly it was about Drawing elements like shapes), I will need a little time to find that one and to check whether this one is a DUP or only shows similar symptoms.

Simple Sample

I created a more simple sample with less special conditions like footer, fields, ...

Problem with access to elements in top and bottom margin area already reproducible with WIN version
* 3.6.2

Still was ok with WIN version
* 3.6.0.4
Comment 24 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-01-27 08:42:44 UTC
I also used ma simple sample document for tests concerning "Bug 54453 - EDITING: Impossible to draw shapes in top margin or bottom margin". That one also appeared between 3.6.0.4 and 3.6.2.1, so I think the suspect that these bugs have common roots (or are DUPs) is appropriate.

I'm a little worried "concerning Bug 50195 - EDITING: Can't Select Image in Header when outside margins", what seems related, but already appeared with 3.5.
But I think we should try to fix all these effects wihtin 1 fix session.

@Cédric:
Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug or forward the Bug if it's not your turf
Comment 25 Andreas Ziegler 2013-04-06 18:52:35 UTC
i just installed 4.0.2.2 and the problem isn't there anymore - so it got fixed apparently somewhere between 3.6.5 and 4.0.2.2
Thanks!
Comment 26 Karsten Henning 2013-04-08 06:22:48 UTC
 Sorry,

I have installed the Version 3.6.6.2 and in this Version the Problem is not 
solved. 
In Version 4.0.2.2 it works fine.
