Description jeongkyu.kim 2006-09-29 07:38:35 UTC

Cursor jumps to the next cell if DEL key is entered inside empty cell of table.
I believe that users expect cursor to be stay at the same cell in this case. For
instance, when users want to delete all content of the cell and to put new one,
even if they enter one or more DEL key rather carelessly, cursor should stay at
the same cell.

How to reproduce,

1. Open writer
2. Create a table
3. Locate cursor at the first cell
4. Enter DEL key
5. Cursor jumps to the next cell

MRU->OS: Cursor jumps to next cell when pressing "Del" key in an empty cell -
the old senseless behaviour - we should once get rid of it.

lijian->fme:
Could I work on this issue ? 
I wonder if working on this issue is a good choice.

fme->lijian: You are right, I'm also not sure if we should "fix" this. There
might be millions of users that are used to this special behavior. We shouldn't
change this without a good reason. I'll set the issue type to "request for
enhancement".
