Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 64078
Context sensitive toolbar appears on Mouse Button down instead on button up
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:01:49 UTC
- New text document - insert a table - move the cursor outside of the table - click back in the table and holde the left mouse button -> the table toolbar appears As stated in: http://specs.openoffice.org/ui_in_general/toolbars/openoffice_org_toolbar_spec.odt 6.3.1.: ..."A context sensitive toolbars appears on mouse button up."
cd->cj: Please take over. We should change the specification as this would mean a huge amount of work in the application. The context is changed on mouse button down and we do it at least since OOo 1.0.
Changed target to OOo 2.x
This problem is a general UI issue, not only for writer. Together with Issue 48693 the reported problem can cause annoying damage when editing. My 'example.odp' shows how the position of an object in a DRAWing will be changed accidental if you do not unengage left mouse button quick enough. So I believe we can't change the specification, we haev to change UI! Thie can be discussed again when Issue 48693 has been fixed.
