You may have a look at it. I do hope that you had a look at it. And now think not about the single action, but in a sequence of actions. When user presses Backspace, and then moves somewhere else, it might seem OK either way. But often, the first backspace is followed by more backspaces.

It > should not depend on how a selection is made or how the selection is deleted. I fully agree: It's pretty rather inconsistent. 1. Select some text from right to left 2. CTRL+X 3. CTRL+Z -> changes selection from left to right 4. CTRL+X -> cursor at the right In this case the undo should remember how the text got select in the first place. The alternative would be to make it independent of selection (from left to right/ or right to left). I personally prefer the latter. I personally don't take record of how I select things. And well if I want to replace a start of a word I select from left to right. And if I want to replace the end, I select right to left. Cursor position unpredictability is disruptive, to me, IMHO. Similar type of issue bug 137972 It also matters for track changes with changes visible. Do you type left/right of the deleted word. See bug 149873. The mixture of both doesn't improve the reading of changes. And you can be unaware of the effect with show changes disabled.

I can accept either decision, but can't establish what would be the choice. I checked Word for reference, there deleting selection with change tracking is according to your expectation: depends on whether the key was backspace/delete. Do we want to behave the same way as Word? There seems to be another interesting (unrelated) difference in how change tracking works in Word: if you have part of a word selected, and start typing (thus replace the selected part), then Word replaces the whole word with your typing and the unchanged part, not only the selection. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109272 --- Comment #7 from Rosemary Sebastian--- Bug 103458 covers two bugs actually - wrong cursor position and the fact that currently we can delete stuff multiple times in change-tracking mode. I pointed to the bug report because you didn't seem convinced. The universal behaviour is that the cursor is at the start of a selection after deletion, taking into account how it works in LibreOffice without change-tracking enabled. That we have a cursor associated with a selection looks like another bug, but I am not sure. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
