Bug ID: 106982
Summary: Can't select single column in writer table anymore.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I hover above a column (down arrow appears) and click the left mouse
button, the column below the arrow is normally selected (Highlighted), so I can
make changes to text formatting...
Now when I do the same it selects the desired column as well as the adjacent
ones, all but the last one in the table, which I can select by itself.
For reference: I did not change a thing to the document nor program settings,
and it worked fine before. I can not find anything in the table or paragraph
settings that could indicate the columns being linked to each other somehow.
I have also noticed that after a few tries of opening and closing any settings
(with or without making changes), and I try again, the highlighted columns
loose the highlight when the settings dialog opens, and only the top left
fields text (not the field itself) is highlighted, and any changes I make are
applied to that text only, not to my original selection of columns. Once this
has occurred, the results always repeat until I close the document, and re-open
it.
LibreOffice Version: 5.2.2.2 Build ID: 1:5.2.2-0ubuntu2 CPU Threads: 4; OS
Version: Linux 4.8; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc:
group
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open document with a table (more than 2 columns; 6 in my case)
2. Hover mouse over any but the last column to get the down arrow cursor, and
click with left mouse button (Right handed Mouse). Do not drag the mouse.
3.
Actual Results:
All but the last columns are selected.
Expected Results:
Only the one column should be selected.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No, and it's not a good solution either, or else I will
spend more time configuring the software than using it, given the frequency of
problems. You need to find a way to prevent this frequent user profile
corruption in the first place, or at least narrow resetting to single files,
not the whole profile.
Additional Info:
I am not a programmer, so if you want me to help by getting readouts from
terminal, or fetching files to attach, then you will have to give me step by
step instructions like what to type in terminal, and where to find files...
