Description andis.lazdins 2015-07-12 11:10:01 UTC
Ubuntu 14.04, 32 bit, Libreoffice 5.0.0.3

In previous versions it was possible to select 1st letter of selection in combo boxes typing by keyboard. For instance:

1. select Format > Character from menu.
2. Go to Fonts Tab.
3. press on small button in Language selection combo box.
4. when list is open, type a fist latter of language you need (in my case default is Latvian and I want English, so I type "E".
5. Nothing happens.

In previous versions (4.4.4.5):
5. Selection moves to the first option starting with "E" so user don't have to go through all the list.

This is probably tiny, but very useful feature.
Comment 1 Joel Madero 2015-07-12 15:55:45 UTC
Oh yes - that's pretty annoying :-b


Ubuntu 15.04 x64
LibreOffice 5.0.0.3 & 4.4.4.2


Marking as:
New (confirmed);
Minor - can slow down professional quality work but will not prevent it;
Medium - regression so bumped up from low


Thanks! Hopefully we can fix this one relatively quickly.
