Bug ID: 169913
Summary: Add an option to disable "typing replaces selected
text" (it's not overtype mode!) like in MS Word
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.3.0 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
It needs urgent an option to disable "typing replaces selected text" according
to the meanwhile solved LO bug enhancement report here (option to disable
drag&drop of selected text), please read also
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100998
Over 10 years go by to introduce an option to disable the useless error
creating crap drag&drop of selected text, unbelievable. In Word since beginning
a indispensable configuration option. Thats one of the many reasons why MS is
still Nr. 1.
Now, when you give us an option to disable also "typing replaces selected
text", then LO is at last usable for me and probably millions of other Word
users. Like Comment_14 said, working and changing long documents is impossible
with LO!!! To much risk for loosing important data. And "typing replaces
selected text" is much, much worser than drag&drop.
