Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40791
Double-click on Fields does not work on entire region of the last character
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:38 UTC
If you insert a field and then double-click on the right-most pixels of the last character, it will not open. This is visible more often when the field is small (has little data), e.g - formula =1+1 (can only open by clicking on the left 2-3 pixels) - blank document title (this is *impossible* to open)
This is a feature. Clicking on the left part of a field will activate it for editin. Clicking on the right part of it will select the field (e.g. for character format assignment).
I think you mixed up left and right in your response. This mechanism is completely non-standard. The correct UI methods for the two options are: 1. single click to *select* object (field) 2. double-click to open/edit the object
A proposal for enhancing editing-behaviour of fields.
