It has been this way since version 1.0. What you do not see is that the "empty"
selection is really the empty cursor selection. Although you may argue that this
is a bug, it is possible that existing code relies on the empty selection as the
cursor position. Consider the following, which provides a little text around the
"empty" selection.
Sub Testselect
Dim oDoc As Object
Dim oSelection As Object
Dim i As Integer
Dim s As String
Dim oText
Dim oSel
Dim oCurs
oDoc = ThisComponent
oSelection = ThisComponent.CurrentSelection
s = ""
If oSelection.hasElements() Then
For i = 0 To oSelection.getCount() - 1
If i > 0 Then s = s & chr( 13 )
oSel = oSelection.getByIndex( i )
s = s & Format( i, "00" ) & (": ") & oSel.getString()
oText = oSel.getText()
If oText.compareRegionStarts(oSel.getStart(), oSel.getEnd()) = 0 Then
oCurs = oText.createTextCursorByRange(oSel)
oCurs.goLeft(2, False)
oCurs.goRight(4, True)
s = s & "<EMPTY> : " & oCurs.getString()
End If
Next i
MsgBox( s )
Else
REM You will probably NEVER get here
MsgBox( "no selection" )
End If
End Sub
In Summary, yes, the behavior is exactly as you state (you should have read my
book or my free macro guide, which discusses this), but, is it a bug? I would
say no, but I am not in the position to say so.
