Configuration:
Windows 10 (64-bit)
Version: AOO412m3 (Build ID 9782)

Summary: Bug was successfully replicated and appears to be an issue with the
entire properties sidebar (not just the spacing field). Deletions upon pressing
enter could cause inconvenience to the user.

One way to replicate:
Open a document in OpenOffice writer
If the properties sidebar is not present, click “view” on the taskbar and then
check the sidebar option
Write some text in the main document (does not matter what)
In the properties sidebar, click into the above paragraph spacing field
Highlight the default (0) number and type 1
Press enter

As mentioned in the original report, this error causes an insertion of an
“enter” press in the text document even though that is clearly not what the
user is trying to do (they are editing fields in a sidebar). More specifically,
if no text is selected, the new line caused by the enter appears where the user
last had the cursor in the document. However, if the user has selected a chunk
of text, the enter press deletes the text and places the newline at the end of
the deleted text segment. For most users who do not expect this sort of
behavior, this type of unexpected deletion could prove both inconveniencing and
confusing.

One important thing to note about this bug is that it does not just apply to
just the paragraph spacing fields (above and below). This is a consistent issue
with any field in the properties sidebar that controls the formatting of text.
This includes the three indent fields as well as text size. From running this
on the text size field in the properties sidebar (which results in the same
behavior) it is interesting to note that this issue does not persist when
pressing enter on the text side field in the main taskbar. This issue appears
to be specifically isolated to editing fields in the properties sidebar and
nowhere else.
