Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21827
mouse moved while key pressed event binding misleading
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:17:11 UTC
OO.org 1.1rc5 on Solaris sparc. Create a simple macro e.g.msgbox "test macro" Open a text document, from the main toolbar select form functions. Add a push button to the document, on the button select controls and assign the macro to Events, Mouse moved while key pressed. Close the button properties dialog and switch the design mode off. Select the push button Move the mouse while selecting a text key BUG the macro does not execute. HOWEVER:- If user moves mouse while selecting the shift or ctrl or alt keys the macro does execute. I'm not sure if it is suppose to operate in this fashion. If it is the help documentation should specify this, currently it reads "The Mouse moved while key pressed event takes place when the mouse is dragged while a key is pressed at the same time. An example is when, during drag-and-drop, an additional key determines the mode (move or copy)."

of - jsk: Please have a look.
According to the OOo PCD i set this Bug/Enhancement to OOo Later Later because: I think it should only work for CTRL / SHIFT / ALT However: This is an inconsistency and should be resolved. JSK->TBE: What is your opinion? Wrong description text or incomplete feature?
No idea, if this is a bug or feature. MT should comment on this.
According to MT the event should only be fired, if a mouse button (!!!) is pressed and the mouse is moved. With this semantics it's a bug, that the event is fired when the CTRL, SHIFT or ALT key is pressed.
User Experience should evaluate, if the UI text should be changed from 'Mouse moved while key pressed' to 'Mouse moved while mouse button pressed'.
