Bug ID: 165883
Summary: Double-clicking and dragging doesn't mark text under
mouse pointer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Universally, double-clicking a word does mark the whole word. Dragging the
mouse pointer while holding the double-click will mark all full words from the
originally marked word up to the word under the mouse pointer. Writer text, and
even Windows Explorer or Notepad behave like this. Other LO components and
Writer text boxes do break this behaviour and just don't do anything (see
attached GIF).
This seems to be a bigger issue that affects LO behaviour in general. Writer
does behave as expected from legacy LO and other Windows software, but other LO
components and text boxes in Writer behave in an unexpected way. See bugs
165880 and 165877.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type several words of text into Calc or any text box.
2. Double-click and hold the first word.
3. Drag the mouse pointer towards the right, over the following words.
Actual Results:
The originally double-clicked word gets marked, but not the other words.
Expected Results:
All full words from the originally marked word up to the word under the mouse
pointer should be marked.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
