Problem description: not possible to copy drawings while moving and holding CTRL Steps to reproduce: 1. Draw one object (for example rectangle) in Writer 2. Move that object with mouse while holding CTRL 3. Release Current behavior: Object is not moved neither copied. Expected behavior: Object should be copied and moved to new location. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.4.2 release
Hi Ljiljan, Thanks for reporting this! I see the problem in 4.1.0rc2 too: In my situation, I see the mouse cursor changes and gets a +, but there is no drawing copied. It does work with a picture however. Is that the same for you? Do you have any idea if it worked correct in a previous version? Regards, Cor
I checked - I can copy imagse, but drawings are not possible... however, even copying images could be improved (perhaps images contour - selection could be shown while moving...)... I did have this problem in LO 4.0 (all realases). I didn't use earlier versions.
This bug seems to be a duplicate of bug 33692.
The problem is annoying and occurs differently from application to application. ============================================================== Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new Writer document. 2. Create drawing object of any kind. 3. Try to copy it by holding down the Ctrl-key and moving it with the mouse. 4. Try the same by holding down Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V 5. Try the same with picutures. 6. Do the same in other LO-applications. ============================================================== I. Behaviour: Version: 4.2.3.3 Build-ID: 882f8a0a489bc99a9e60c7905a60226254cb6ff0 Windows 7 Home 64bit, Intel onBoard HD Graphics 4000 - Writer: with Ctrl+Mouse: 1. New document: copies only 1st drawing/shape, works well with images Dokument: not at first with drawings/shapes, then suddenly they appeare all after inserting image, works well with images 2. with Ctrl-C/-V: doesn't work at all, neither with drawings/shapes, nor with images - Calc: perfect - Draw: quite good, still not perfect with ctrl-button presed only able to copy actual selection (@ drawings AND pictures) ctrl-c/-v works perfectly - Impress: see Draw Version: 3.5.7.2 Build-ID: 350m1 (Build:2) Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS 64bit, Intel onBoard HD Graphics 4000 - Writer: with Ctrl+mouse: doesn't work right away, then after having inserted an image, works well with images with Ctrl-C/-V: doesn't work at all, neither with drawings/shapes, nor with pictures -Calc: with Ctrl+mouse: perfect mit Strg-C/-V: doesn't work at all, neither with drawings/shapes, nor with pictures - Draw: quite good, still not perfect with ctrl-button presed only able to copy actual selection (@ drawings AND pictures) ctrl-c/-v works perfectly - Impress: see Draw Version: 4.2.2.1 Build-ID: d7dbbd7842e6a58b0f521599204e827654e1fb8b Win 7 Prof 64bit, NVIDIA GeForce GT 520m Writer/Draw/Impress: see above (Linux) Calc: with Ctrl+Mouse: perfect, does what it should =============================================================== II. Expected Behaviour: Should work smoothlessly.
CTRL+C / CTRL+V works in Writer only in following case: 1. You select object 2. press CTRL + C 3. click on document (object is no longer selected) 4. Press CTRL + V 5. It's copied In case shape / object is selected, copying will not work. However, it is not possible to copy drawings in Writer while moving and holding CTRL.
(In reply to comment #3) > This bug seems to be a duplicate of bug 33692. it is - thanks( *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 33692 ***
Hello, The description of Ljiljan is not correct. If you copy a drawing using the mouse and the CTRL key, the drawing is copied, but not visible. If you select the "print preview", the drawing becomes visible. I use this fonctionality, despite this display bug, for over two years, with many different versions of Libreoffice, under windows XP and under Linux Ubuntu, also many versions. Despite the display bug, it works well. Thank you for this developpement, Bernard Gisin.
