Bug ID: 164641
Summary: Wrong context menu when right clicking selection of
multiple cells with misspelled words
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.7.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Sorry if this is a bit difficult to explain. When you select multiple cells in
the same column that have misspelled words, faulty logic is used to determine
if a right click should show the standard cell context menu or a spell-checking
suggestion context menu.
The context menu that is shown is based on the cursor cell, when it should be
based on the cell under the mouse position.
In some cases, where the cursor cell's contents completely span the column
width, this bug leaves the user unable to open a context menu for the
selection.
This is minor, but it's a regression that worked properly in version 7.0.0 and
before. It must have broke somewhere between 7.0.0 and 7.5.7, which is the
next version I have installed and it still affects 24.8.4.
Steps to Reproduce:
* New Calc spreadsheet
* Key data into cells: A1: aaaaaa, A2: aa, A3: aa
* Select A1:A3 with cursor in A1
* Right click in A3, just to the right of "aa"
Actual Results:
LO uses the logic of the cursor cell when determining how to handle our right
click in A3. So, even though we clicked in a blank section of A3, the
right-click is treated as happening in the cursor cell A1, which would be on
the misspelled word "aaaaaa". This opens a spell-check dialog for A1's
contents.
Expected Results:
Since we right clicked an empty section of cell and did not right click on a
misspelled word, the standard cell context menu should appear.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
If you right keep the selection of A1:A3, but move the cursor cell to A3, you
can right click on the right side of "aaaaaa" and get a cell-context menu
instead of the spell-check menu.
Also, this bug mainly affects right clicking in another cell with a misspelled
word. If you right click in a cell that does not contain a misspelled word,
the normal context menu appears, as expected.
If your cell range has the cursor in a cell that does not have a spelling
mistake, you can't right click on any misspelled words within your selection.
You will only get the cell context menu.
