Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 77384
Toolbar steals keyboard focus if running as ole inplace activation server
Last modified: 2013-02-07 21:58:03 UTC
When an OpenOffice application is running as an OLE server inside another application using inplace activation, the keyboard focus is lost when an OpenOffice toolbar is used. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Microsoft Excel 2. Choose Insert / Object / OpenDocument Text 3. Type a few words in the embedded Writer window 4. Push the "bold" button on the formatting toolbar 5. The keyboard focus is lost, it's not possible to type anymore
just for the records: I can see this problem using WinXP and OOo2.1, too... After using a toolobar button the focus is out of the "text area"... one has to put it back using the mouse... :( I set this issue to "confirmed"... @tm: hi tm, who's the "winner" of this pretty issue? add myself to CC...
Hi tm, who's the winner of this pretty issue???
TM->MRU: Ole ? You ?
MRU->OS: when an OOo application (does not matter if Writer or Calc...) runs as OLE server e.g. in a Ms Office application, clicking a button in the toolbar like one of the format buttons, it is not possible to enter taxt until the user explicitly click the cursor "back" into the text.
Framework issue -> cd
cd: Looks like a VCL problem to me. Have to discuss it with PL.
