--- Comment #4 from Elena Popa <[email protected]> --- Configuration: Attempt to replicate 1: Windows 7x64 SP1, OO Writer 4.0.0, OO Writer 4.1.3 Attempt to replicate 2: Windows 10, OO Write 4.1.3 Follow-up tests: Windows 10, OO Write 4.1.3, Microsoft Office 2016 Roland’s comment “This bug is from the beginning of the 4.1.1 Version.” lead me to believe that testing on a version prior to 4.1.1 there is possibility to see a difference in behaviour. For this I have used test steps provided by Rob, in his comment above, for both “Draw Textbox” and “Insert Frame”. The results after testing on 4.0.0 and 4.1.3 are the same with the ones described by Rob. After doing some follow-up tests I can also add the following results, that, I think, might be close to Rob’s concern and also a few of my concerns. Results after follow-up tests: Result 1: The text box is disappearing before inserting text, if you click on it or outside it Steps to reproduce: 1.1. Draw a text box and select text from the above paragraph to insert in it 1.2. Click on where the text box appeared before clicking outside > the text box has disappeared 1.3. Draw a new text box and click inside it > the text box disappears See attached gif: TextBoxDisappears > In order to avoid the text box to disappear you need to type text or use > CTRL+V to paste text in it. Result 2: It is not possible to Paste in a text box from the context menu (Right Click > Paste) Steps to reproduce: 2.1. Create a text box and add some text in it 2.2. Select some text from inside the text box and right click > Copy 2.3. Hit the Enter button and on the new line right click > The Paste option is missing > This is inconsistent with the Context menu used outside text boxes. On those > context menus the Paste option exists. Inside text boxes you can Paste only > using CTRL+V. Result 3: It is not intuitive how to start inserting text in a frame Steps to reproduce: 3.1. Insert Frame from Insert > Frame > Ok 3.2. Click inside it > Frame options menu is displayed 3.3. Click outside the frame to lose focus and click back inside the frame > the blinking cursor is displayed > Another way to start inserting text is if, instead of step #3.2. you start to > type directly - this will enable the cursor Result 4: Text boxes created in an MS Word 2016 are not displayed in OO Writer Steps to reproduce: 4.1. Use attached document (TextBoxAndFrame.docx) to open with OO Writer 4.1.3 > the text box is not displayed and neither the text inside it > The .docx document was created with MS Office 2016 and it contains one frame > and one text box > Neither the frame nor the text box are displayed in OO Writer when using a > similar document, created with MS Office 2007 Conclusion: Using text boxes and frames inside OO Writer is not very intuitive when it comes to adding or editing text inside it. On top of that, text boxes and frames created in MS Office are not supported in OO Writer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
