Description Maxime de Roucy 2013-03-12 15:50:07 UTC
Created attachment 76408 [details]
simple document that shows the problem

Tested on Windows (XP, 3.5.7.2) and Linux (archlinux 64, 4.0.1.2).

Steps to reproduce (in) : 
1 :
* Open the document simple_test.odt
or 
* open writer
* View → Toolbars → Form Controls
* insert two check box in the page and another in a second page
* put the cursor in the top of the first page (you must not see the 3 check box on your screen) and save.
* open the document

2 : check the first check box
3 : push tab → the focus goes on the second check box, it's the normal behaviour
4 : push tab → the focus goes on the first check box, it's a bug. The focus should go on the third check box.

To get round of this bug you can unzoom to see the whole document, and re-zoom to normal.
Then the tab key behave as it should.

It seams LO have to render the form control to include it in the "forms sequence".

I hope it's clear.

Hi, I'm able to reproduce using your sample document with LO version Version 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985) under Debian.

Creating a new document, I've not been able to reproduce, the behavior of the tab cursor is the one attended, the focus jump to the 3rd check box on the second page without the need of zooming in.
Maxime, if you're going to fix this bug, could you assign it to you? Regards - Sophie

Still reproducible.

The first two controls are anchored to the page.  If you save the third control as anchored to paragraph then the focus works as it should.  On opening after the save, the third control flashes at the top of the page.

Reproduced in OOo 3.3, so inherited.

But I notice it is VCL-dependent.

Works for me with gtk3 VCL plugin:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b83f069101f1e6d8aaac09a805f02bbc4c619e7a
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

But still reproduced with gen, kf5, qt5 VCL plugins.

I guess this is an accessibility issue as it makes keyboard navigation more difficult.
