Cursor not placed in new footnote when Stylist is displayed
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:11 UTC
When a new footnote is created using a keyboard shortcut, the cursor is not automatically positioned in the footnote. It simply disappears. To recreate: Go to Customize and assign a keyboard shortcut Press the keyboard shortcut Try to type (but nothing will appear) It's a small but annoying problem for the user.
Works fine here with OOO300m7 on Windows and Linux. I will try tomorrow with the Mac build. BTW: on which Shortcut did you apply? Did you youse Insert.Footnote or "Insert.Insert footnote directly" from the Tools.Customize options?
I applied command-shift-w and bound it to Insert.Footnote. Thanks
MRU->OS: This is not a problem of shortcut assignment; more a general problem on Mac platform when "Styles and formatting" window is opened. Then, when inserting a footnote into document, the focus is not on the document anymore.
->pl: Do have an idea what goes wrong here?
CMd-Shift-W is the global shortcut for "close window". Which from your description is exactly what happens ?
Cmd-W is the global command for close window. And my problem isn't that the window closes (it immediately brings up the footnote dialog) but that the cursor isn't positioned within the footnote. Further, I just tested it using the menu instead and it still has the same behaviour.
Yes, this is kind of awful. For some reason the focus is not set back to the vanishing dialog's parent but to the other visible child (the navigator). Funny enough not the same would happen when a torn off toolbar was active. There already was a similar case in fullscreen presentation (issue 90440); generalizing that fix works for this problem, too. I made setting the focus back to the parent explicit. fixed in CWS vcl97
please verify in CWS vcl97
Verified with cws vcl97 = ok

Issue 94443 has been fixed in master version OOo-dev 3.1 .0 (OOO310m7 Build:9393) for Mac OS 10.5.6 and can be closed, but some small bugs appears like appearing in menu Insert->Footnote/Endnote the previous version of shortcut and appearing the number from footnote in the first place in a first line in a document.
This will be closed now. Please file a new issue if you've found further bugs. Thank you.
