Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 113518
mixing variables and text confuses cursor in command window
Last modified: 2010-07-29 13:36:05 UTC
(1) Take any document and insert a formula. In the command window type " sope ", including the quotes, result: " sope " (2) Set the cursor in front of it at the first position and write an m, result: m" sope " (3) Click between s and o for to add an l. Notice, that the cursor is not shown between s and o but between o and p. (4) Pless l. Notice that the l is inserted between s and o. The mouse click is used for editing, but the cursor is shown at wrong position. This is an severe error in the UI. Mixing text parts into formulas is often needed in Draw and Impress, because the text box cannot include a formula, and so using text in a formula is the only way to combine formula and text. Although this is an error in the command window of the formula editor, it might be connected to issue 113493, which describes a similar defect for text boxes. I see the error first in DEV300m83, it is OK in m82.
I assume this to be duplicate of issue 112788 (as Niklas posted on releases list) - in OOO320m2 this does not occur anymore with fix from issue 112788). In DEV codeline it is not already integrated, thus m85 still has this problem. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 112788 ***
Closing duplicate.
