Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 47283
Unable To Toggle 'Exit Edit' Of Form Widgets In Spreadsheet
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:17 UTC
You are able to put form widgets (single line text, toggle box, etc) inside of a spreadsheet. If you put some of them into a group, and then Edit the group, clicking focus to another section of the screen does not "Exit Edit" mode as it does in the Writer module. When you click focus to a cell to do so, it fails to exit edit as it should. When you click a widget or section of the screen not in the group, it should toggle this mode off. To recreate: 1) Start a new spreadsheet. 2) Put a single line entry widget into 2 different cells. 3) Group them together. 4) Click focus into one of them and both of them are marked with green corners 5) Right mouse click and select "Edit Group". 6) This works, you can correctly edit the widgets as expected. 7) Now click focus into a cell that does not contain any widgets. 8) OOo thinks you are still in edit mode and you cannot correctly focus other widgets in other groups. You have to right mouse click and exit edit mode. Hope this is clear...this really happened to one of our beta testers using M91.
Hi Frank, using two groups of pushbuttons I was able to reproduce the descrived behaviour in Draw and Calc. Please have a look. Frank
this is in no way limited to form controls, it seems. Also happening with ordinary drawing shapes. Not sure whether this works as designed, at least there is a inconsistency with Writer, thus cc'ing the user experience team. fs->fst: You can't be serious with the target. Even OOo 1.0 behaves this way, so this never qualifies for a maintainance update such as 2.0.1. I'm not even sure whether this should perhaps be P4.
