Description marcosgdf 2014-05-30 17:21:52 UTC
Problem description: If I press CMD + A, the document data does not get selected, but the Bold button gets pressed. If I go to edit > select all I see that CMD + A is the configured shortcut.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type something
2. Press CMD + A
3. ....

Current behavior: Bold style is set

Expected behavior: All the text gets selected

              
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

Also works fine on :

Version: 4.2.0.4
Build ID: 05dceb5d363845f2cf968344d7adab8dcfb2ba71

tested on osx 10.9.3
Comment 4 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-04 14:03:33 UTC
Which version of osx are you using ?
Comment 5 marcosgdf 2014-06-04 14:10:44 UTC
Hi:

It does not happen with new documents, just with .docx. Also, I said 4.2.4.2, not 4.2.0 or 4.4.

I use Mac OS 10.9.2

If you need the document that causes bad behaviour, ask me.
Comment 6 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-04 14:17:30 UTC
Where does it say in your initial report that you were having problems with docx files ?

Unless you provide us with complete instructions for reproducing, we can only second guess at best. Please upload the troublesome document if there is nothing confidential about it.
Comment 7 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-04 14:28:19 UTC
Can't reproduce with LO 4242 either with a pre-existing odt file or newly created one, so maybe either specific to docx import or your particular docx file

Comment 9 marcosgdf 2014-06-04 20:18:42 UTC
Sorry Alex, I was using LO as usually and faced this problem so I thought it might happen always.

I said it was happening with MS Word files because I tried it again after you told it was OK and realized that only happened under some circumstances...

I've attached the file.
Comment 10 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-05 05:11:06 UTC
The file you posted is doc, not docx ?

In Word 2011 for Mac, I can't "select all" via the shortcut either, so what makes you think this is a LO only bug ?

In LO, if a document contains a table at the beginning as the first paragraph, then you can not use the shortcut to select all. This is a known limitation.

On the Mac, both LO and Word behave the same.
Comment 11 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-05 05:17:01 UTC
However, I am confirming the behaviour that the cursor jumps to the beginning of the paragraph in the footer instead of selecting the whole text of the body, that is why you see the Bold and Left justified attributes.
Comment 12 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-05 05:18:54 UTC
Changed title to reflect behaviour, confirming
Comment 13 Alex Thurgood 2014-06-05 05:22:33 UTC
Definitely a bug, but whether it is the import filter or the select mode function is as yet undetermined.
