Description fbcon9 2004-06-05 13:18:41 UTC 
In Writer, when selecting an entire line of text and the text has a bulletted 
format, you are unable to select the entire line including the bullet at the 
start of the line. The only way to select the entire line is to select past the 
end of line which then includes the bullet or formatting of the following line.

There actually seems to be a general problem with selecting a line of text as 
you cannot select up to and including an end of line non-printing character 
without including the start of the following line, sometimes with adverse 
repocussions, however the above sample with the bullets is easily reproduced to 
get a gauge of the problem.

The "Numbering" as stored as paragraph attribute, thus it has not been intended
to have a buulet selected together with text.

Selecting an entire line of text, including it's current format (albeit 
bulleted or not), to drag and move it to another location, to cut and paste it, 
etc, I presume is a standard feature of Oo (like any other Windows program 
works like in this situation). 

If this function is not working as intended which is what I have shown with the 
problem I have logged, then I believe that it can only be classified as a 
DEFECT not an Enhancement to the function.

When you select an entire line of text in any windows program then aren't you 
selecting any fonts and any other format characteristics of that line? Then if 
so, bulletted lines should be treated in an identical manner. In addition to 
this, if bullets are not meant to be selected at all by what I understand of 
your reply, then this issue that I have logged is still a DEFECT, not an 
enhancement because as I have clearly shown, bullets "can" be selected.

MSWord and Write for 2 examples work the way I would have expected it with 
bullets being part of the format specification of the line being selected 
therefore applying to the destination line when moved (dragged via mouse) or 
copy/cut and pasted.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
