Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49094
Direct cursor should work when a text is selected
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
I have problems with Unix-style copy/paste. I selected in both Linux and Windows the option "Mouse middle button pastes clipboard contents". and, it pastes only content from other open windows (text selected with mouse), equal from OO.o or not, but it does not paste text selected in the same document window :)
Reassigned to ES.
I cannot reproduce it. Please describe step by step what you do (add a sample document if needed). Please indicate which distribution you use.
Open single textdocument (may be new). Write word (in the same document). Select word with mouse. Move to next line, press middle mouse button (in the same document!). Nothing appears. Same procedure BETWEEN documents works fine. Also reproduced in m102, installed some minutes ago. Used Windows XP and SuSE 9.3, also an other user confirmed this bug, dont know on which environment.
arghh! I found this out... when I bring cursor in other place, the original text will be unselected and therefore it is not pasted. Is this normal? When pasting from other applications, it does not matter, is the text visually in selected state or not.
Of course! You have to proceed as following: - select the text - directly click with the middle mouse button on the target area *without clicking with the left button first*. IS that what you do?
ok, I understand - but is this good idea to clear 'mouse' buffer immediately after unselecting text? Maybe were better to keep the content until next selection? And - when text is selected, I cannot use direct cursor for 'aiming'. ?
ES->Requirements: when a text is selected it is not possible to use the direct cursor.
->vagula: please file another enhancement for keeping the selection buffer after deselection
-> es : reported issue 49159, as request for UI enchancement
