Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 90170
cursor left in selection mode after changing editing context
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:11:47 UTC
In a presentation document, if I switch from editing an embedded spreadsheet to normal editing mode by clicking outside of the spreadsheet area, the selection tool is left in selection mode (there is a selection rectangle from the point I clicked to the current cursor location.) This can end up moving the document view out of the visible range if I happen to move the cursor to do something else. To reproduce: create a new empty presentation select the "Title, spreadsheet" layout for a slide double click to edit the spreadsheet click outside the spreadsheet area, and outside the title area - you should now see a selection rectangle attached to the cursor
Win XP, 3.0.0 beta I'd like to add that this is reproducible for me using the steps a_cummings described above with any of the layouts that contain a spreadsheet OR a chart, ('Title, Text, Chart', 'Title, Chart', etc.). The key step seems to be editing an embedded chart or spreadsheet, and then clicking somewhere on the page that's outside of any of the other components on the page. For example, clicking away to a corner always seems to reproduce this issue. Clicking from a chart or spreadsheet into another component (e.g. the title) does not.
Reproducible. Reassigned.
