OS: Windows 7, LibreOffice Version 4.2.5.2, Writer It is not possible to select the location information in the properties dialogue. Therefore it is impossible to use the copy and paste mechanism to transfer the document path to some other place. How to reproduce: Open some .odt document in the Writer component. Use File -> Properties... to show the "Properties" dialogue. You should see the contents selected by the "General" tab which contains type, location, size and other information. Using the tabulator key it is possible to move the focus to the various controls. If the control contains some information, e.g. document name, modification timestamp etc, it is possible to copy this content using the CTRL+C key. Current behaviour: If the "Type" information is selected, the next focus position is the "Size" position. It is not possible to select the location information using the "Tab" key, the ALT+L shortcut or the mouse. Expected behaviour: The next focus location after the "Type" information is the "Location" information, and it should be possible to access this information in the same way as the other information fields, using the "Tab" key, the corresponding shortcut or the mouse.
Hello Albrecht, Thank you for submitting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is available in 4.2.6, and master on Linux. It previously worked in 4.1.6.
Reproducible for me with version 4.3.3.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 (Build ID: 8618534a73e8c6b5cddb6a7cacedcc38b62bab33). Reproducible for me with version 4.2.7.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.04 x86-64 (Build ID: a7f7b93299a9a7af8b243099f78f236172c4cb51). Could be possible that this behavior would be intentional ? Best regards. JBF

The below commit appears to be where the behaviour changed. The change seems to have been deliberate, although the commit message doesn't elaborate what the specific bug it targeted was apart from its connection with CMIS. Unfortunately the original author no longer seems to be an active contributor. I wonder who has current knowledge of CMIS? commit b56a9a22dadc2f78be1c898505a884774fc19e25 Author: Cao Cuong Ngo <cao.cuong.ngo@gmail.com> Date: Mon Jul 8 22:21:10 2013 +0200 CMIS properties dialog: Fixed the "*" location bug Tried to change the WB_PASSWORD but didn't work.

Adding Cc: to mihai.mv13@gmail.com Hi - apologies for picking on you at random as someone (possibly more or less the only person) who has recently touched CMIS. Can you think of any reason the commit mentioned above on this bug (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b56a9a22dadc2f78be1c898505a884774fc19e25) would have been necessary in some way that is related to CMIS? (the effect of the commit is to prevent you selecting the file location in the File -> Properties "General" tab) Thanks
Well if i had to guess, i would say that maybe the file location on the CMIS shouldnt be selectable for some strange reason. :D @Cédric: you have any thoughts on this matter of why the file path has been disabled from selection in the File -> Properties -> "General" tab.
I can confirm this bug in Writer and Calc in Version: 4.4.0.3 Build ID: 40m0(Build:3) Locale: en_US
thanks to Szymon who made the field selectable without it widening the window if it contains too much text
