Bug ID: 159079
Summary: With NumLock off in Numpad, then with Alt pressed the
Num Pad arrow keys should not operate
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In Windows only Alt+code enters special character, e.g. Alt+0241 enters ñ.
These Alt codes are at the top of the list when searching the internet on how
to enter special characters.
If NumLock is turned off in the Number Pad then the mouse keys are activated so
4 moves the cursor left. However, in LibreOffice the Alt+code is also still
active so the inserted character is moved one place to the left. Using the code
above, Espñaol is entered when Español was intended.
Microsoft Word does not insert Alt+Numpad characters without NumLock; Alt also
disables arrow movement.
Microsoft Wordpad does insert the Alt+Numpad characters and also disables arrow
movement.
LibreOffice should do one of these, my preference being to emulate Wordpad as
that might provide an easy workaround for

This issue arose from

I entered 6.4.7.2 as the earliest affected version because that is the earliest
version I have tested.
