Bug ID: 155158
Summary: Cursor dissapears when switching from chinese layout
(windows 10)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If you don't already know, in the chinese keyboard layout there are 2 input
modes, english and chinese. In the chinese one, you write the characters in
'pinyin' (phonetic chinese which uses english characters) and then select with
the numbers the character you want to type. Also, when you press shift, you
switch between those input modes. The chinese input stays 'floating' and if you
switch to english mode, by pressing shift, it gets typed in english.
To reproduce this bug, you have to type something in the chinese input mode but
then instead of selecting a character or pressing shift to type it as is, you
have to switch to a different keyboard layout （with 'alt' + 'shift' in
windows)(I switched between greek and chinese layouts but i doubt this
matters). After that you will notice that the text stays in this 'floating'
state and the cursor dissapears.
When it disappears, you can still type normaly and by saving the document it
reappears. After a few times of this happening, the paragraph I was working on
got deleted, undo didn't work and shortly after the application crashed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start typing something in chinese layout (chinese input mode)
2.Instead of selecting a character or pressing shift to print what was typed in
english, switch layout by pressing 'alt' + 'shift'
Actual Results:
The cursor dissapears and the 'floating' text that was typed stays on the
document. Once a part of the document got deleted and undo didn't work. Shortly
after the application crashed. Saving the document makes the cursor reappear.
Expected Results:
The expected behaviour is the same with when switching from chinese input mode
to english input mode(by pressing 'shift'); the text gets typed in english
without any special characters.
Reproducible: Always
