Description santiago473 2012-12-20 01:51:17 UTC
Problem description: 

In "LibreOffice 4.0 beta1 Writer" the cursor most of the time doesn't access blank/empty lines.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Write a text section and add blank (empty) lines to the document.
2. Place the text cursor inside of the text section, next try to move the text cursor to the blank line by clicking on the blank line with the left mouse button.
3. In 50% of the cases the cursor won't jump to the blank line.

Current behavior:

see above

Expected behavior:

When left clicking on a blank line the cursor should always move there.
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.0.0.0.beta1
Last worked in: 3.6.4.3 release

can reproduce this in 4.0.0.beta1 but not current master or libreoffice-4-0 branch.

with beta1 clicking in the document area appears to move the text cursor only if a paragraph with text has been hit; not if you click "behind" the end of a paragraph (which is of course easy to do for empty paragraphs).

Cedric, do you know if this is a duplicate of something you fixed?

otherwise i guess it's WORKSFORME.

I can't remember fixing that on purpose at least...

so since nobody wants to take responsibility for fixing it ...
