Description Kumāra 2014-02-18 06:55:35 UTC
This new version (4.2.0.4) prevents me from moving the cursor between footnotes with the up/down arrow keys. I used to be able to do that just fine on 4.1.4.2
Comment 1 Regina Henschel 2014-03-21 20:47:18 UTC
*** Bug 76467 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Kumāra 2014-04-30 04:34:38 UTC
The ability remains possible with 4.1.5.3. Something broke it in the 4.2 series.
Comment 3 Kumāra 2014-05-31 09:57:40 UTC
As the duplicate bug report says that "This misbehavior occurs also on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and LO 4.2.0.4.", I'm correcting the Platform to All.
Comment 4 Nico Dorn 2014-06-12 13:42:34 UTC
Confirmed with Version: 4.2.4.2 Build ID: 420m0(Build:2) on Kubuntu 13.10.

Nasty bug for all science writers!

> Nasty bug for all science writers!

It's an annoyance for anyone who uses footnotes heavily. I'm still sticking with 4.1.6 just because of this.
Comment 6 Björn Michaelsen 2014-07-12 20:13:03 UTC
MABs should be priority highest.
Comment 7 Kumāra 2014-08-05 10:55:34 UTC

> MABs should be priority highest.

Thanks. LO4.3 is out and still no sign of this regression being fixed.

Me, still sticking with 4.1.6.
Comment 8 sinai 2014-08-08 14:10:49 UTC
Please let you consider the priority of this bug as the highest. All scientific texts contains a lot of footnotes. It is very difficult to edit this kind of text. It is impossible to use the mouse permanently if you wish to go just to the nearest footnote up or below: if the next footnote is on the next page you have to scroll the page, to find the footnote, oh! The process of editing is really nightmare... Please fix this bug! Thanks in advance.

> The process of editing is really nightmare... Please fix this bug!

I feel your pain, sinai. To save yourself the frustration, consider downgrading to 4.1.6.2, where the bug is not present. For me, all the improvements in 4.2 onwards don't outweighs the trouble of this bug. So, I simply decide to stick to  4.1.6.2 until this is fixed. Cheers!

I don't know what that means, but it sounds a lot like some kind of progress. Thank you very much. Wonder if we could move a little closer to fixing the bug.

Would it be bad manners to cc the authors involved the "bad commit"?
Comment 13 Xisco Faulí 2014-11-03 08:31:53 UTC
Please do not add anyone as CC as we don't know the problematic commit yet.
For the time being, we just know that this regression was introduced in range http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=range&q=a47a153a7f75edfe3bce33f0d34b723cbd2d5195..6571193609f4fb4e5ac714b55787d172a86983fe

I find it odd that a confirmed regression bug should require a test file. Anyway, here you go.
Comment 17 tommy27 2014-11-30 08:24:20 UTC
there's nothing odd. a test file should have been there from beginning.
it's necessary to speed up the QA job so we don't have to recreate from scratch such a file.

if users create complete reports with clear descriptions and test files and/or screenshots we can test more bugs in less time, otherwise we have to test less bugs in more time.

so having said that, this bug persists even in 4.5.0.0.alpha0+

I'd like to test it, but don't know which one to download.

I suppose I should see under libreoffice-4-3/

In it I see
 Linux-rpm_deb-x86@45-TDF/    14-Dec-2014 00:05    -   
 Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@46-TDF/ 14-Dec-2014 17:52    -

 Win-x86@51-TDF/              09-Dec-2014 12:12    -   

I'm using Windows. Which of the 2 below should I click on?

Anyway, I'm guessing the one for me to download is this one. Correct?

FYI, I have tested
