Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 77435
Edit cell when clicking on a selected cell
Last modified: 2013-12-15 17:14:02 UTC
As is the case with file names in most GUI interfaces these days if the file is selected, clicking it again allows editing of the file name. It would make the interface easier to use if clicking an already selected cell switched to edit mode on that cell, so just like double click, two clicks would do the same thing. How it works now: Click cell - cell is selected Click cell again - no action How it could work Click cell - cell is selected Click cell again - cell switches to edit mode.
reassigning features and enhancements to user requirements@openoffice.org which will be the default owner for those tasks (was introduced some time ago)
In issue 99002 I see that edition occurs in response to a double-click — but edition is bugged.
