Problem description: In LibreOffice Start Center, when I click Ctrl+F, an empty toolbar opens. It is pointless and therefore should be disabled. It is not a 'bug' though, just a UX irk. Thanks Michal Operating System: All Version: unspecified
I'd say it's a bug. Confirmed in LibreOffice 4.0.3 under Ubuntu 13.04.
Still happening in 4.1.3.2. Also Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 9c45345a680f7444df251f9403c7d56572380f21 TinderBox: MacOSX-x86@49-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-18_12:43:03 Definitely not nice. Adding ProposedEasyHack.
i wish to work on this bug. Can someone help me with where to start?
Thanks to Kendy for the code pointers: The magic of the StartCenter happens in core/sfx2/source/dialog/backingwindow.cxx and core/sfx2/source/dialog/backingcomp.cxx BackingWindow::Notify( NotifyEvent& rNEvt ) is the function that handles the key input. The findbar (which isn't populated though) opens when pressing ctrl+f, so we might want to check in the Notify function the command is not the one corresponding to call the findbar (vnd.sun.star.findbar:FocusToFindbar). To determine what command is called with a key-input (it can be customized, so the call of that findbar might be linked with ctrl+i or so :) ) you can use AcceleratorExecute::findCommand() in acceleratorexecute.cxx. I hope that helped. Kind regards, Joren
