Oliver-Rainer Wittmann <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |CONFIRMED Issue Type|DEFECT |ENHANCEMENT Hardware|Mac |All Version|4.0.1 |OOo 3.3 or older Ever confirmed|0 |1 OS|Mac OSX, 10.9 |All --- Comment #7 from Oliver-Rainer Wittmann <[email protected]> --- some background information: (1) yes, it is true that only rectangle-like range of a table can be selected in Writer. (2) yes, it is true that no deselection is possible in Writer table selection. (3) yes, it is true that (1) and (2) are not depending on the platform and are true since I know OpenOffice Writer. now back to the reporters use case: (a) selecting certain table rows in Writer using the left-mouse-click at the beginning of a row, holding it and moving down is somehow defective, when the table is not completely visible. I think this is the use case which hadouma had described. Right? workarounds: (I) place the cursor inside the first cell of the second row and hit key combination Shift-Ctrl-End --> all rows except the first one will be selected. (II) place the cursor inside the first cell of the second row, hold the Shift key and hit Arrow-Right key until all cell of the 2nd row are selected - still hold the Shift key. Now hit Arrow-Down key until the end of the table --> all rows except the first one will be selected. (III) click with the mouse into the first cell of the 2nd row and hold the Left-Mouse button. Now move the mouse downwards until the end of the table. --> all rows except the first one will be selected. All three workarounds also work when the table is not completely visible. conclusion: - I can confirm the behavior described by the reporter (at least what I have understand). - From the 'implemented feature set' point of view this is more an enhancement request than a defect. - Workarounds for the reporters use case are available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
