Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 87223
text selection ends at end of table
Last modified: 2008-03-19 10:28:59 UTC
When selecting multiple pages in a document and the document contains a table, one cannot select past the end of a table.
@synnack: Please first read our guidelines on <http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html> and <http://www.openoffice.org/bugs/bug_writing_guidelines.html>, then contribute a clear step by step instruction containing all observations (error messages ...), every key press and every mouse click how to reproduce the problem. Do you want to start a selection outside a table some lines before the table and end the selection somewhere in the middle of the table? Please explain why you think that the observed behaviour might be a bug.
Sorry, my bad. The problem is that when there's a table on the top of the page and there's no text (or empty line) above the table, it is not possible to make a selection past the end of the table The proper way to reproduce: 1) Create an empty document 2) Create a table on top of the page 3) Create some text below the table 4) Try to select the table and the text There's no way to do that, because the selection is in a different mode (cell/row selection).
