Bug ID: 145365
Summary: Calc UI scrolls sheet tabs after renaming one
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.0.4 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sarp...@aol.com
Description:
I create a bunch of empty tabs, and start renaming them to the appropriate
names. So I scroll the first unnamed one to the left, so I can see which names
I've done as I work across the page and through the tabs. I hope.
But when I rename one, Calc scrolls my view so that the newly renamed tab is
all the way to the right, and I can't see the next one needing renaming.
It's possible this is regarded as desired behavior for some. For me there are
two problems. The first is that it moves something I'm working on, without my
permission or command, and requires me to quit working and scroll my work back
to where I put it. I have scroll bars to move the tabs with. There's no need
for the software to move them in this situation.
The second is that not only does it move my work, it actively hides it from me,
in a way that I can't really picture a use for. It would be one thing if this
were an incomplete feature, but this behavior seems intentional.
Is it possible there's an option to turn this behavior off that I haven't
found?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create enough new tabs to overflow the tab bar.
2. Rename enough tabs to overflow tab bar
3. Scroll the first default-named tab to the left
4. Select and rename the first default-named tab
Actual Results:
After step 4, the renamed tab moves all the way to the right, if there are
enough tabs before it, and the next tab after it is scrolled partially or
completely off the screen. Tabs renamed in the middle of the screen seem to
move around more or less at random, sometimes depending on the length of the
previous name.
Expected Results:
After step 4, the tabs stay scrolled where I left them, unless there is some
other reason to move them. But even if my new name is too long to display, I'd
still expect the tabs to remain where I had left them.
i.e. if the newly renamed tab is in the visible portion of the tab bar, don't
scroll the tabs at all. If the new name is too long for the visible portion,
I'd still prefer that the beginning stay visible (i.e. no scrolling) than
scrolling to the end of the name, or to the next tab.
