huge cursor

Operate the button just to the left and right. In addition there is a huge cursor over the entire length of the vertical text. Let's see how you can navigate in the vertical text in a table in Microsoft Office 2003. Also see the screenshots.

1. New Writer document
2. Table - Insert table, OK
3. Right-click in table, Table properties
4. Text flow tab: Text orientation - vertical
5. Type stuff into the cell
Comment 4 Ramil 2015-06-24 11:07:05 UTC
Beluga,
I tried what you suggested. Works great, better than orientation via text settings. I got turned 90 degrees clockwise. But how do I get the rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise?

Frankly, I don't know :)

But now that I tried another way to manipulate the orientation, it worked ok for me, too, without any huge cursor:
1. Right-click in the cell - Edit paragraph style (you should of course create a new style for a real document)
2. Position tab - Rotation / Scaling - 90 or 270 degrees

Let me know, if you get good results and we can close this report.

I did notice that manipulating paragraph style + position vs. table properties aligns the vertical text to the opposite sides of the cell. With position, it is at the left side.

Try your advise, good. But is some issues.

Ok, your video had reproduction steps for the big cursor.

After rotating the text with Edit paragraph style, write some text and press the Home key.

It is interesting that this does not happen, if you rotate the text from the Table properties - Text flow.

I changed this to be about the huge cursor, you should create a separate issue for the navigation keys.

I did some searches and there doesn't seem to be a report for that yet.

Sorry, I made mistake. I used Table Properties - works fine. If use Character Style the problem still is.

Dear Ramil,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
