[upstream] ctrl+selection in text boxes

[Kayvee]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I am not sure if this is a bug or just a missing feature...

In Writer, I can select text at one place in a document; hold Ctrl button and select more text elsewhere in the document. This does not work when I try to select text from multiple places in a text box. This behavior is not just specific to Writer. I observed identical behavior in Impress also.

Ubuntu Intrepid
OpenOffice.org 3.0.1

openoffice.org-core 1:3.0.1-1ubuntu1intrepid1

Can you please try reproducing this problem with the official openoffice.org at http://openoffice.org/ then report this bug upstream at http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi as the problem is hard for me to reproduce it would be better if you worked with the OpenOffice.org developers directly on this problem. After reporting the problem in their bugtracker please attach the bug number to this bug report. Thanks!

I reported this bug to OpenOffice a little while ago... forgot to add the bug #. Here is the link to Openoffice Bug Report: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99437
I am not sure if it is being looked into though...

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
