Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 82652
Writing protection passed when drag-n-droping text inside a protected frame
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:06 UTC
I tried to post with the newbie's form but it told me "The person's name is -idontknowwhat, you can't post". Or something like that =) So informations like "Subcomponent" may be wrong. But the description is good though, please take note of it!! Thank you. Description of Problem: You still can copy text inside a writing protected frame by dragging and dropping a selected text in it. (//I'm using OOo 2.3.0, your form doesn't list it though!) Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a frame 2. Protect it from editing it's content in the "Options" panel. Accept. 3. Write some chars outside the frame, select them, drag them and drop them inside the frame. Actual Results: Chars are written. Expected Results: Chars shouldn't be written as they are written in a writing-protected zone! How often does this happen? Every time I test it :) I tried various Frames configurations, like "protect from everything/don't"; "test just after creation/don't"; "show a border/don't"... So I think it's just not been thinked about when coding... right? Whatever, thank you! First I was on OOo 2.2.3; I upgraded it before posting here, but it's exactly the same with OOo 2.3. Additional Information (OS patch level, drivers, library version, etc.) Windows XP v5.1 Dell Dimension C521 Thank you
MRU->OS: it is possible to place text via drag and drop into a write-protected frame.
This issue still exists with OOo 3.2. The problem also isn't just restricted to drag&drop. On Linux you can also paste text into a protected frame by using the middle mouse button paste functionality. My guess is the underlying problem is the same.
