[upstream] middle button press (copy / paste) reveals selection

[Christopher Yeleighton]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

1) The release of Ubuntu I am using: Gutsy 7.10.
2) The version of Open Office I am using: 2.3.0
3) What I expected to happen:
After I press the middle mouse button, the selection contents should be inserted at the pointer position.
4) What happened instead:
The same but the document also scrolled revealing the selection (the selection was in the same document). It is very annoying.

I see it in Ubuntu Hardy, OpenOffice 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu2.

How did you manage to get middle mouse button to work? It doesn't work for me in Hardy at least with hardy-proposed 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1.

[Christopher Yeleighton (giecrilj)]

It just worked like that out of the box and it also scrolled the document to reveal the current selection.

Confirmed on 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1 need to verify on upstream and forward.

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.
