Bug ID: 105925
Summary: Alt Gr / Alt + Ctrl does not work appropriately with
"N" letter - opens "Narzędzia" ("Tools") menu instead
of writing "ń"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When trying to write Polish diacritic characters, user can use three options:
- Write "~" ("tylda") and the letter of choice that is to be converted to
diacritic, eg. ~n = ń, ~o = ó, etc.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+letter, eg. Ctrl+Alt+n = ń, Ctrl+Alt+o = ó
- Press AltGr (right alt) + letter, eg. AltGr+n = ń, AltGr+o = ó
I checked out in different applications than LibreOffice, and the problem does
not appear. It appears only in LibreOffice. I am sure it is at least since 5.2
version, maybe longer.
I checked out with language of system set to Polish, and keyboard mapping set
to QWERTY Polish (programmist), which is default here.
I checked out with LibreOffice interface set to Polish, as well as English,
getting different results.
When writing any of Polish diacritics: "ęóąśłżźć" everything works fine until
it's about letter "ń". Letter "ń" doesn't appear in any of two latter options.
So, writing ~n does make ń, but pressing Alt+Ctrl+n as well as AltGr+n does not
create letter ń.
With Polish interface language set, it does open "Tools" menu, called in Polish
interface "Narzędzia". It shall be only invoked by Left Alt (pressed and
released to highlight top menu) followed by "n" letter. It seems like Right Alt
= AltGr is not properly interpreted in current LibreOffice versions and maps as
Left Alt when pressed together with "n" letter here.
But what's more funny is behavior of English interface version. When it is set,
AltGr with "ń" does... erm... nothing. It's like nothing was written, but seems
the top menu is highlighted as well, but without opening any menu. So it still
seams that AltGr+"n" is making the AltGr being interpreted as Left Alt instead
of Right Alt.
Tested on multiple LibreOffice applications for few last releases. Didn't test
on 5.4. Don't remember if existed on 5.1. Certainly didn't exist on first
releases of LibreOffice 5, and any of LibreOffice 4.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up your computer input type to: Polish -> Polish (programmer) - with
QUERTY layout
2. Open eg. Writer or Calc with user interface set to Polish or English
3. Try to write a letter ń using either: AltGr + n OR Alt + Control + n
Actual Results:
Polish interface: "Narzędzia" (en. "Tools") menu is opened
English interface: Nothing happened, eventually Menu is highlightet
Expected Results:
ń letter shall be put down in the document
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes.
Additional Info:
I did also completely reinstall app, upgrade it for multiple months waiting for
problem to be solved somehow, uninstall, clear all leftovers and clean install,
try on different device with different version of OS. The problem still occurs
on every device.
The problem is major, as the software is useless in both corporate and home
environments with the diacritic character not working properly with AltGr type
shortcut. Using the workaround with "~" ("tylda") is not the most comfortable
solution, what makes it very uncomfortable to work.
