Bug ID: 147647
Summary: Compose key creates a dot and not the desired
character
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When the compose key is activated in order to produce special characters, an
underlined middle dot character (·) and a blank space next to it are shown. In
LibreOffice Writer, if the compose key is invoked at the end of a line with
other lines below it, after the key sequence is entered the cursor just ends up
on the next line and the · remains, while the character the user tried to enter
does not appear.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer
2. Hit Enter a few times to create some lines
3. Click on any line besides the last one
4. Invoke the compose key to make a special character
Actual Results:
A · will appear and stay there, while the cursor moves down to the next line.
Expected Results:
The special character the user wanted to make using the compose key should
appear.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
If the compose key is invoked at the end of the final line of a document or the
middle of a line, the character still does appear properly: it's at the end of
a line when there are more below where the problem always occurs. This makes
editing very frustrating.
This seems to be a Writer-only bug: Calc (in a cell), Impress, and Draw at
least all properly make the desired character when the compose key invoked at
the end of a line with others below it.
This also does not affect any non-LibreOffice application that I can find, such
as other text editors.
