Hi Steven, you're right, selecting a single cell in OOoCalc is a little bit difficult in the moment. Easiest way is click -> shift+click. Changing this is in discussion. Reassigning it to Falko. Best regards, Peter *** Issue 10897 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 15949 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 15752 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 16685 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 19133 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** A possible option may be clicking in a cell and keep pushed button for a while, for example 3 sec. Came from comments in issue 19133 Yes, I agree we should change our selection behaviour in Calc. Started *** Issue 21217 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Hello Niklas, please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you. *** Issue 25793 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** If you're going to implement a change to the selection behaviour in Calc, then please don't introduce an impediment as suggested by mrsoto. Waiting 3 seconds every time you want to make a multiple selection would very quickly become tedious. Please, just make *pressing the Ctrl key* add more cells to the present selection, single cell or otherwise. *** Issue 25975 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 27794 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later. nn: is this that hard to implement that it has to be postponed to OOoLater? This is: - very old - very inconvenient - repeatedly reported Can you please say if you can implement it for 2.0? Created attachment 16594 [details]
Proposed patch (SRC680_m44)
kohei->Calc team: Please evaluate the above patch to see if it's acceptable. Thanks. Kohei I should set the status to "STARTED" since I'm already working on this... BTW, that patch still needs some work. Created attachment 16758 [details]
Revised patch (SRC680_m44)
The above patch differs from the previous one in the following points: 1. Fixes mis-behavior when Ctrl-Arrow is pressed. 2. Provides the same behavior when in add-selection mode via Shift-F8 3. Ctrl-clicking on the same cell also highlights that cell. kohei->nn: Please evaluate this patch when you have time. Thanks. Kohei The patched rejected after nn's review. Don't use it. There will be another one. Created attachment 16786 [details]
Another patch
It's committed to CWS "dr20" (with slightly shortened names). reopening to reassign reassigning to QA for verification reset resolution to fixed verified in internal build cws_dr20 *** Issue 34815 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** fix available in current master OOo1.9.54 Created attachment 18189 [details]
Back-ported to OpenOffice_1_1_3
Hi Kohei, please open a new Issue and attach your patch to this, as OOo1.1.3 is currently available, the target should be OOo1.1.4. Frank Hi Frank, I've created i35121 for the mentioned patch as you suggested. Kohei *** Issue 45589 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** I think the basic selection behaviour is at fault. There seem to be two types of selection for a cell: with the border showing and with the cell body highlighted. Only the second allows dragging. I'm not sure this is the best way to go, as it's quite confusing to understand the behaviour, even for advanced users. I know that 'do it like MS Office does' is a dirty word around here ;) but if you look at Excel you'll see that instead of two kinds of selection behaviour, they have different areas of the cell perform different actions: to drag a cell you click on the border rather than the body of the cell. *** Issue 50018 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 45589 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
