I have a table that I created in Writer. I can type text into the cells, and I can put the cursor into the end of the text in the cell using the mouse. But if I click on the existing text in the cell the mouse cursor is suddenly thrown to the end of the previous page. It's like the text in the cells has its shields up and anything hitting it bounces away. Yet, once the cursor is in the cell I can use the arrow keys to move back and forth across the text, and I can edit the text with the keyboard.
The cells are not protected. And even if they were, I should not be able to enter any text into them, or even edit the text with the keyboard. At least, I think that is how protection works. (I never use protection.) The only problem is that I cannot select parts of the text in the cell with the mouse. Double-clicking in the cell at the end of the text selects all the text in the cell, but if I double click on top of the existing text the cursor jumps off the table to the last line in the previous page. This makes it really tedious to do formatting like changing a font for an individual character (something I need to do a lot). For example, one cell that I just tried to edit contains "[θ, x]" and I need to change the font for the theta. This is Writer 3.01 on Ubuntu Intrepid. Does anyone know what might be causing this weird behavior? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
