[ooo-build] [hardy] OO.o Calc: selected cell goes to last one after cut

[Marcelo Briones]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-calc

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 hardy and openoffice.org-calc 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu6.

When in any cell I press CTRL+X to cut it then press right cursor button in keyboard, the selected cell goes to final or any other place, not to the right one.

Something like that happens with CTRL + X then left.

I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person to have ever observed this. I've posted a bug report on the OO tracker:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89560

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the OO version distributed from their website, but I see it in both Ubuntu and Debian, so I suspect it is a general bug.

I believe I have nailed down the problem (that when cutting and then moving focus using the keyboard, Calc things the cell that was cut PRIOR to the one just operated on has the focus, and moves relative to that cell rather than the actually focused one), but feel free to add details if you see different behavior.

According to upstream response, this has been fixed, although I'm not sure if it will be for the 2.4.1 release or 3.0, nor if Hardy will be able to pick it up regardless.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

I can confirm the problem on a fresh Hardy install and can confir that it's fixed with -proposed installed.

The hardy-proposed SRU was copied to intrepid some time ago.
