Issue ID: 126825
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Calc causes issues with Windows Calculator when
launched from MS Keyboard Calculator key
Product: Calc
Version: 4.1.2
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows, all
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I use OpenOffice Calc with a Microsoft keyboard. This keyboard features a
dedicated Windows Calculator launch button.
What I expect to happen:
- press the Calculator button
- Windows Calculator launches
- Windows Calculator takes focus, becomes front window
- Subsequent launches of Windows Calculator should bring current instance to
front
What actually happens:
- press the Calculator button
- Windows Calculator launches
- Windows Calculator is hidden behind OpenOffice Calc, lacks focus
- Subsequent launches creates a new instance of Windows Calculator, lacks focus
Tested with: Windows XP, Windows 7, OpenOffice 4.1.2
I use OpenOffice Writer and Calc a lot. This bug does not show up when using
the Writer, or any other application. Only when Calc is running on the
machine. It doesn't matter if Calc is foreground or background. Merely having
Calc running causes the errant behavior.
I do a lot of one-off price calculations from supplier price lists. Whenever I
use Calc, it causes a loss of performance and the potential for errors because
I have to re-orient myself with the mouse, bring the calculator to front, etc.
If I forget to bring the Calculator to front and focus, I could end up omitting
important calculations. It's not practical or efficient to try and do one-off
calculations inside OpenOffice Calc.
