Description V Stuart Foote 2015-07-03 03:04:02 UTC
On Windows 8.1 64-bit and Windows 7sp1 64-bit, en-US
Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)
Build ID: c18f11587d37f285a95447dd8996c8b605732e00

Getting weird behavior on the File -> Exit action on the StartCenter

Thought it was a sticky mouse button on the first system, but happening on a second.

The -x- accelerator, and the mouse click on Exit button are sometimes not closing LibreOffice.  Can not consistently cause it to happen, but opening/closing the Help -> About and the Help -> LibreOffice Help dialogs seems to trigger it as often as not.

When "stuck", a <Ctrl>+Q or <Alt>+F4 does close--just not the button click or the -x- or <Alt>+x
Comment 1 tommy27 2015-07-03 05:27:42 UTC
tested under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)
Build ID: 8b788891796ff0571f779cdbe8ce809c35c42754

1- closing the start center clicking on the "red X" button on the right upper corner works for me

2- Ctrl+Q closes immediately LibO

3- if I click "File/Exit LibreOfficeDev" menu item from the start center menu I have to click it twice to see LibO close. the first click doesn't do anything.

4- if I click the "File" start center menu and then digit the "x" accelerator nothing happens

so I confirm the bug.

I think the main reason is that all "menu" accelerator do not work in the start screen (maybe a focus problem)

try hitting "f" or "t" or "h" and you'll see that the "File", "Tools" and "Help" menus won't open

accelerators in the left application bar do work instead (try hitting "d" and it will open Writer, "s" will open Calc etc.

this double click to activate issue looks quite specific to the "Exit LibreOfficeDev" menu item...

all other items from the "File", "Tools" and "Help" menu can be clicked just one (as it should be) to activate.

No, believe movement of focus to the Main menu bar out of the SC has always required an <Alt>+F, <Alt>+T, <Alt>+H because they are formally "short cuts" and not just "accelerators".  And then there are the <F10> and <F6> focus movements, which are not affected.  But once focus is moved onto the Main menu bar, the "f", "t" or "h" as accelerators correctly switch between top level menus. 

That seems correct.

you are right: <Alt>+F, <Alt>+T, <Alt>+H do work, anyway I think that the undelining of the "F", "T" and "H" is misleading since it makes you think that they are single letter accelerators and there's no hint that you effectively have to add the Alt key in order to make them work.
I'll probably file a new bug report about this aspect.

regarding the issue of the "x" accelerator in "File/Exit LibO Dev" I add "regression" and "bibisectRequest" to the bug informations since it doesn't happen in LibO 4.4.x (I haven't tested in 5.0.x though...)

so I am setting keyword regression.

However, questions and comments arising ...

(1) I do not see the problem on Linux in the daily dbgutil bibisect
    repository version 2015-07-15, and I do not see mention of Linux
    in the comments above.  Is it right that the bug report has O/S
    All?

(2) I also see the (intermittent) failure of File > Exit in Writer,
    Calc, and Base; I have not tried other applications.  The
    reference to StartCenter in the summary may not be helpful.

HTH,
Terry.
Comment 6 tommy27 2015-07-19 06:57:31 UTC
retested under Win8.1 with LibO 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)
Build ID: 5a61d7f049a81d6e747d9d097f364ae45f58697b
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2015-07-16_01:06:26
Locale: en-US (it_IT)

seems things changed a little bit.

File (mouse click) -> Exit (mouse click) -> WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (X or Alt+X or Ctrl+Q) -> DOESN'T WORK
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (X or Alt+X) -> WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit Ctrl+Q -> DOESN'T WORK

tried other combinations:

File (mouse click) -> Open (mouse click) -> WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Open (O or Ctrl+O) -> DOESN'T WORK 
File (Alt+F) -> Open (O or Ctrl+O) -> WORKS

and:

Tools(mouse click) -> Options (mouse click) -> WORKS
Tools(mouse click) -> Options (O or Alt+O) -> DOESN'T WORK 
Tools(Alt+T))-> Options (O or Alt+O) -> WORKS

can you confirm my findings?

Not so sure about that, I think bug 92866 -- Keyboard command shortcuts don't work in start centre-- is somehow also in the mix.
Comment 9 V Stuart Foote 2015-07-25 13:05:03 UTC
Sometime between 2015-06-24 and 2015-07-01

Seem to recall that was in a stretch when the TBs were not rolling Windows builds, at least I don't have any builds within that range.

Anyone?

@Robinson, do you know if the Windows bibisect repo builds master, or just 5.0?

Comment 12 Simon Long 2015-10-19 11:09:34 UTC
Menus and accelerators in Start Centre are fundamentally broken - try using Alt-H to open the help menu; what happens is a button click on the Help button at the bottom of the screen.

See also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92866 which describes another symptom of the same problem.

The whole menu and key accelerator handling in Start Centre needs to be investigated and fixed so it uses the same mechanism as used everywhere else in LibreOffice; I don't understand why it seems to work completely differently.

No this was taken care of a while back in bug 80477. They were duplicated but the Help menu gets the <Alt>+H "short cut", the Help button widget was reassigned a .UI GTK accelerator of "l", i.e. He_lp rather the the ~Help assigned to the main menu.

Actually it has gotten worse of late--on current master the Start Center focus indicator is being suppressed (or is not tracking), so no visual indicator of which button has focus from keyboard navigation.

Scratch that--I was poking at a hardware acceleration/OpenGL issue in rendering a complex SVG in Impress with current TB39 build, this particular Start Center paint glitch resolved with a profile reset.

Even though you can exit LibreOffice with a work around - Clicking the X, or Ctrl+Q, this issue should be considered a fairly high priority.  People tend to judge by fairly shallow criteria whether or not software is well written - and if an bug like this is so obvious, they would probably be concerned what other issues are waiting just under the surface.....

Comment 43 Caolán McNamara 2016-08-02 14:46:17 UTC
I can reproduce some of this under the gen plugin. There may be more than one bug here, and ThierryT's warning dialog may be a dbgutil only warning which breaks the menu grab under windows and might not affect normal builds.

When a menu is active and there is an "E_xit (Ctrl+Q)" entry then pressing x, or alt+x, or ctrl+x should all be the same as pressing x. And should active the Exit.

Pressing q, or alt+q or ctrl+q when the menu is active, I think should only active something which has the q underlined in its name. So not the "E_xit (Ctrl+Q)" entry. This is how I believe we worked historically and its what I see.

Taking ThierryT's tests we have...

In the main window (no file opened) :
File (mouse click) -> Exit (mouse click) => WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (X : mouse click) => WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (Alt+X or Ctrl+Q) => DOESN'T WORKS : nothing done the Menu "File" still displayed
^^^this it the one I have fixed here^^^ Where starting with the mouse and then using the keyboard x to active E_xit didn't work. Ctrl+Q doesn't work, but that's expected.
File (Alt+F) => Exit (mouse click) => WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (X : mouse click) => WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit(Alt+X) => DOESN'T WORK : see file enclosed before (same message)
^^^this works for me, I wonder if this is a dbgutil-only windows problem^^^
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (Ctrl+Q) => DOESN'T WORKS
^^^that's expected IMO^^^

With a file opened (in Calc without macros) :
File (mouse click) -> Exit (mouse click) => WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (X : mouse click) => WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (Ctrl+Q) => WORKS
^^^that's actually strange to me^^^
File (mouse click) -> Exit (Alt+X) => DOESN'T WORKS
^^^I believe this is the one I've fixed^^^
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (mouse click) => WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (X : mouse click) => WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit(Alt+X) => DOESN'T WORK
^^^this works for me, I wonder if this is a dbgutil-only windows problem^^^
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (Ctrl+Q) => WORKS

With a file opened (in Calc with macros) :
File (mouse click) -> Exit (mouse click) => WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (X : mouse click) => WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (Ctrl+Q) => DOESN'T WORKS
File (mouse click) -> Exit (Alt+X) => DOESN'T WORKS
^^^I believe this is the one I've fixed^^^
File (Alt+F) => DOESN'T WORKS : if no cells selected inside a sheet, no menus appears
^^^This I can't reproduce and must be some other problem^^^
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (mouse click) => WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (X : mouse click) => WORKS
File (Alt+F) -> Exit(Alt+X) => DOESN'T WORK : see file enclosed before (same message)
^^^this works for me, I wonder if this is a dbgutil-only windows problem^^^
File (Alt+F) -> Exit (Ctrl+Q) => WORKS
^^^a surprise, not reproducible by me other Linux and gen vclplug^^^

So, if we put aside the surprising report that using ctrl+q in the file menu in calc works we have...

a) The case that clicking on the file menu, then using x (with or without mods) didn't work. That should now be fixed. With backports for 5-2 and 5-1 in gerrit.
b) That using alt+x in the file menu gives an error dialog under windows, probably only with a dbgutil build.
c) That the file menu in calc under windows doesn't appear unless you select some cells (or click in the main panel to initially focus it maybe ?)

I'm going to take this for the purpose of a) and ask for retests for b and c in the next master that has this fix. If "b" and "c" persist while "a" remains fixed then please file some new bugs about those, and don't reopen this one because this one is now an unwieldy 40+ comment catch-all bug.
