I do not reproduce with Version 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 96fb245) Which build did you use? Your own build or a daily build? If it is your own build, I suggest you to make a fresh build (make clean the make dev-install) and try again. Best regards. JBF It is my own build. I did a fresh build last night and I still have this behavior. I guess we would need to add some VCL support for underline accelerators appearing only on alt keypress. I assume it's fine to continue to write Ctrl+O in the File menu against Open (eg.) ? :-)
I guess that something like:
void OutputDevice::DrawCtrlText( const Point& rPos, const XubString& rStr,
xub_StrLen nIndex, xub_StrLen nLen,
sal_uInt16 nStyle, MetricVector* pVector, String* pDisplayText )
Which has a nStyle that controls whether the mnemonic text is rendered or not would need some hackery - and clearly we'd need to trigger a re-draw of any controls that include such text as/when the user hits the Alt button in various dialogs.
And we'd need a style-setting from the gtk+ backend / theme to detect whether or not to do that. It's quite do-able;
Patches more than welcome :-)
The method mentioned is here: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/gdi/outdev3.cxx#7088 Marking as ProposedEasyHack. Here's how GTK did this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588554 *** Bug 58418 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Windows, Mac OS X and Gnome have this setting as default. I have seen only KDE that has the accelerator underline always there. adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility. see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details Removing comma from whiteboard (please use a space to delimit values in this field) https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard#Getting_Started |
