Alt-tabbing to gedit and back did not produce the problem. Therefore, the problem is within OOo, not the Gnome desktop environment. Thanks. -- Nick I reproduce the described behavior in OOo 3.1.0 FR/US and OOo310_m13 on Ubuntu 8.04. In which use case do you need to jump to doc text after you have opened F&R dialog in a spreadsheet ? NB : - You obtain the same behavior if you use the mouse to jump from a window to another. - Of course you have to select one or several cells before opening F&R dialog, otherwise "Current selection only" option is grayed. Confirming with 3.1 and m47 on WinXP - as described. The use case is in multitasking in general. I keep a running memo in Writer of current work and often alt-tab between that and something else to keep track of intentions or completions, as when I drill down in a website and copy URLs along the way to the memo for provenance reconstruction. In this case, I was attempting to reproduce OOo behavior for the other bug and so I alt-tabbed between the F&R dialog and the browser showing the old OOo bug report to be sure that every step was as intended. In ordinary work, I might have alt-tabbed to copy a string either to search for or to replace with so I could paste it into the Calc dialog and prevent an error. Good point re preselecting a cell. I must have already selected a range (relevant to the other bug report) and thus overlooked listing that as a step here. I'm changing this bug report's OOo version from 3.0.1 to 3.1 per comments above. If it should be 3.1 RC1 or 2 or later (I'm unclear on version chronology), please set the menu. Thanks. -- Nick |
