Attachments: test case to demonstrate table selecting problem

Description sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-27 23:49:42 UTC
Created attachment 59138 [details]
test case to demonstrate table selecting problem

Goal of this document: print 4 small document at once. I have created table and placed documents in each cell of table. Now I want to select this table and remove borders. But can not select.
Steps to reproduce problem:
0. Start attached document
1. Try select table by placing mouse near top left corner of table
Expected: selects all outer table
Actually: selects small table in first cell
2. place mouse cursor over top of outer table until small arrow appears and click mouse
Expected: selects all outer table
Actually: nothing selects and cursor places in text of first row
3. place mouse cursor to left of outer table until small arrow appears and click mouse
Expected: selects one row of outer table
Actually: selects small table in row
4. press F5 to open Navigator and double click "table 2"
Expected: selects all outer table
Actually: nothing selects and cursor places in small table in first row
5. Right click "table 2" in Navigator, select in context menu Talbe->Edit, remove borders
Expected: removed borders of outer table
Actually: removed borders of small table in first row

6. Place cursor into small table in second row of outer table. Press Ctrl-A several times.
Expected: selects all outer table
Actually: selects small table in first cell
7. Place text cursor into text in first cell. Press Ctrl-A several times.
Expected: selects all outer table
Actually: selects small table in first cell

Reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.1 on Fedora 64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit

Workaround:
1. place text cursor into text in second cell of outer table and press Ctrl-A
2. place cursor into text in first cell of outer table and drag until bottom cell

Remove table borders using mouse only:
1. Open document.
2. Right click>Table>Set no borders

Seems to work...

In libo Version 4.0.0.0.beta1 (Build ID: 87906242e87d3ddb2ba9827818f2d1416d80cc7)
Win7 32bits,


I confirm ONLY point 4 :
4. press F5 to open Navigator and double click "table 2"
Expected: selects all outer table
Actually: nothing selects and cursor places in small table in first row

The rest is as expected.
