Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 122529
[sidebar] Math OLE cannot be moved with arrow keys
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:41:43 UTC
Created attachment 80841 [details] Math OLE in text for testing Open attached document. The first formula is anchored to paragraph. You should be able to move the formula around with arrow keys, simple arrow key for large movements and ALT-arrow key for pixel movements. The second formula is anchored as character. Therefore only up and down movements should be possible, but that is not the case. Especially Alt-arrow key is needed for manual alignment of inline formulas. It worked till r1453677 which was a version without sidebar and is broken at least in version r1466899, which is a version with sidebar. The sidebar integration might not be the reason, but the bug was introduced in the time range where the sidebar has been integrated. Because not working keyboard is an accessibility problem, it should be solved before release.
Confirming issue with cursor only positioning a formula object, and adding accessibility keyword. But cursor positioning and observing wrapping settings with inserted picture objects (tested a JPEG) remains correct. But, doesn't really seem to be a sidebar specific issue.
I will have a look as I had recently made a change to the arrow-key handling in Writer - revision 1488232
defect cause found: It is a side effect which already exists in former version. The defect that exists in former versions is that an anchored object (text frame, graphic, embedded one, drawing one) can not be moved via the arrow-keys, if its _size_ is protected. For the Position and Size property sidebar I made a small change to the method which checks certain protection states especially for objects containing protected content like Formulas. fix is in progress.

Correction: moving drawing object which are size-protected via arrow-keys works. > For the Position and Size property sidebar I made a small change to the > method which checks certain protection states especially for objects > containing protected content like Formulas. >
