Bug ID: 119635
Summary: Writer: incorrect cursor placement when moving to next
paragraph after deleting text
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: octa...@alvarezp.org
Description:
It looks like Writer keeps track of the horizontal location of the cursor in
pixels instead of character number. When erasing a word and this moves the
cursor, it seems that Writer does not properly update this value. When moving
to the next paragraph, the cursor ends up in the wrong location.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. New Writer document.
2. Type "Hello beautiful world". Hit Enter.
3. Type "Hello beautiful world" again. Hit Enter.
4. Select the word "beautiful" you can use either double-click the word or use
Shift+Right to select the word from left to right.
5. Press "Delete".
6. Press the Down arrow.
Actual Results:
Moving to the next paragraph places the cursor at the end of "beautiful" in the
second paragraph.
Expected Results:
Moving to the next paragraph should place the cursor at the beginning of
"beautiful" in the second paragraph.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This does not happen if the word is selected from right to left. It is possible
to see the cursor position while the word is selected, so it is clear to see
that when selecting from right to left this problem does not occur because the
cursor is at the beginning of "beautiful" before deleting the word.
This even occurs after writing some text!
1. Redo all the steps until step 5.
...
5. Press "Delete" (this step is optional, happens whether done or not)
6. Type "cruel". Do not press Enter.
7. Press the "Down arrow".
Same behavior. The cursor should be at the middle of "beautiful". Instead,
Writer places the cursor at the end.
