Bug ID: 151611
Summary: Writer's DropDownFieldmark cannot use keyboard
navigation/data entry
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Form fields are generally designed to allow quick keyboard entry. Tab moves
between the fields (on a protected form). But once you get to a dropdown, no
keyboard navigation (up,down) or data entry (start typing a valid choice) are
accepted. Our implementation currently requires mouse use.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) open attachment 183065 (macros can be disabled - no relevance here.)
2.) tab to the dropdown
3.) type "1"
Nothing happens. It ought to select the choice. Arrow/PgUp/PgDn keys aren't
captured by the control, but are applied to the document.
Already happened like this in 5.2. Assuming this has been true since initial
implementation. Once showing the opened listbox the arrow keys work, but there
isn't any obvious keyboard way to trigger opening the listbox.
Perhaps the simplest solution would be to automatically trigger it on a
tab-entry.
