The question is, which behaviour should be the best here? Completelsy stopping selection mode? Or multiselection of text? A decision is needed here. i would vote for removal of selection - just like this works in calc. it also is the intuitive for me and seems to conform to used practices - don't keep selection unless modifier key is pressed (shift) ... the intiutive way *** Issue 80261 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** When I press TAB key with selected content in the table cell OO selects content of next cell in the row and CONTENT OF PRIMARY CELL and etc. Selection of the previous cells don't disappears. OO must select content of next cell and discard selection of current cell! OO must select content of next cell and discard selection of current cell, after pressing TAB key in the table. attachment http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/47266/Untitled-2.jpg When I press TAB key with selected content in the table cell OO selects content of next cell in the row and CONTENT OF PRIMARY CELL and etc. Selection of the previous cells don't disappears.

I don't understand the confusion here because this behaviour is not the only domain of OOWriter, so it should follow what is de facto standard here. And this is that navigation key pressed without selection modifier (shift usually) deselects selections. So in this case selection should be canceled and caret should be placed in the next cell. Why is this enhancement? It is OOW defect -- OOW violates pretty well established behaviour. |
