Bug ID: 163798
Summary: Macintosh: Editing: Option-Arrow changes column width
instead of jumping to the next word of text
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.5.2 release
Hardware: ARM
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
On Macintosh, in Calc the key combination Option-Arrow (⌥→) changes column
width instead of jumping to the next word of text. This is contrary to the
functionality that is standard for programs on Macintosh. (Notably, Writer does
follow the normal functionality: Option-Arrow (⌥→) there actually does jump the
cursor to the next word.) This is very problematic, because whenever I forget
to restrain myself from using the normal key combination, the column width is
changed, and in about half of all cases the Undo command will not work on a
column width change, so the only fix then is to close the file without saving.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a cell, then click on text in it.
2. Press Option-Arrow (⌥→).
Actual Results:
The column becomes wider.
Expected Results:
The cursor should jump to the next word, or to the next unit of text in a
formula.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The key combination Command-Arrow (⌘→) jumps the cursor to the next unit of
text. But the correct/standard functionality for Command-Arrow is supposed to
be to jump to the end of the line of text (and this is also implemented
correctly in Writer).
