Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

*** Reporting a bug in English is pretty difficult for me, sorry for possible mistakes in description ***

Selecting text with STRG+A or SHIFT+CURSORkey does not work well: Either only a part of text is highlighted/marked - in this case the content of the table is choosen, no matter where the cursor is -, or the highlighted text-area is on pretty unspecific positions. I dont think it's a feature, for this it seems to be too much accidentally.

THX for every programmers work!

Hello,

the use of STRG+A is still buggy. For example, cursor is in text-area
below the table (in uploaded document), using STRG+A lets neither select
the text-area nor the whole page, as I would expect it: Always only the
table-content is selected.
Also not possibly is selecting the whole page - table-content on top AND
text below the table - with the cursor, but maybe this is a feature of OO?!

best regards from Germany
Daniel

[This is an automated message.]
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.
