When a folder with templates has more then two rows of files, using the Down key does not bring the templates at the third row (and more) in view. (notice: the vertical scroll bar is much smaller then in 4.1.x)
and was OK in 4.1
worse: it's not even possible to open a template below the second row..
(In reply to comment #0) > When a folder with templates has more then two rows of files, using the Down > key does not bring the templates at the third row (and more) in view. > (notice: the vertical scroll bar is much smaller then in 4.1.x) REPRO STEPS: - Open LibreOffice - File -> Templates -> Manage -> Documents If you need some templates: - Download and unzip attachment "silly-templates_fdo.72287.zip" - Click on 'My Templates' and then on the 'Import' button - Import all of the silly-templates (click "Open" to complete) On with the repro: - Double-click on 'My Templates' - Shrink the window size down to make sure that you have at least 3 rows of templates - Click on the first template in the first row - Arrow-down to the third row RESULT: window does not shift down to bring the 3rd row of templates into view *HOWEVER*, I am able to select templates in the 3rd row, and if I hit the "Enter" key, I am able to open them up. So, NOREPRO: - Templates in 3rd+ row not selectable - Templates in 3rd+ row not openable REPRO Confirmed: - Window does not shift down to bring rows 3+ into view (tentatively tagging as Confirmed)
Created attachment 90381 [details] silly-templates_fdo.72287.zip (Nonsense templates for test)
(Forgot to mention, I did my testing with LO 4.2.0.0.beta2 + Ubuntu 12.04.3)

Yes, indeed. But only with the arrow keys I can select a template and only with Enter or the Open button, I can start a document. > So, NOREPRO: > - Templates in 3rd+ row not selectable > - Templates in 3rd+ row not openable Not with the mouse for me. Normally I use the keyboard exclusively, but this dialog makes that hard. And now you have to use mixed mouse and key board.. :( > REPRO Confirmed: > - Window does not shift down to bring rows 3+ into view And makes opening a new file from a template too hard IMO
(This is an automated message.) Setting priority to highest as this is a 4.2 MAB. This is part of an effort to make the importance of MAB reflected in priority too.
Seems like the issue here is that the frame holding the thumbnail view recognizes the number of thumbnails to be presented and responds displaying a vertical scroll bar (but no horizontal scroll). But, at present that vertical scroll bar does not respond to keyboard movements (it does for 4.1.x builds). Nor does it respond to the position of the thumbnail view object that has focus in the frame. So can only be exposed with mouse movements -- not meeting A11Y requirements. Ideally would expect the focus active thumbnail to be centered vertically in the viewframe, unless it is in the last row. And that the view frame should scroll down or up in response to cursor movements between thumbnails. This same inability to scroll with keyboard in Template Manager also affects the shared use of thumbnail view in the Start Center. Confirming the same behavior on Windows OS, i.e. that I am able to select any template just have no keyboard only scroll function. Also that change in scrolling is a regression from the 4.1.x branches. Adjusting title to behavior.
