Bug ID: 106249
Summary: F2 on Formula in Impress allows typing over formula
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.5.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I create a formula in Impress, I can type F2 and start typing text on top
of the formula, as though it were a text box.
This is strange behaviour and would certainly confuse a newbie, since they
can't double-click the formula to edit/remove that overlaid text.
I think it should be set to be impossible to edit the text on a formula object,
in general.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert Formula
2. Add some formula text eg "E = m c^2"
3. Exit the formula
4. Highlight the formula and type F2 (edit)
5. Type 'xxx'
6. Type Escape. The formula is now a mess.
7. Type enter. You can edit the formula but not the 'xxx'
8. Type F2. You can edit the 'xxx' but not the formula.
Actual Results:
Nasty mess, best avoided! But the F2 keystroke is an easy habit eg after using
Spreadsheets for a while.
Expected Results:
To me, 'enter' and F2 should both have the same effect when an object is a
formula. I think there is no benefit at all in being able to edit the text on
top of a Formula. Additionally, I am surprised that the OpenDocument
specification allows this...
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
