Description Francis 2014-11-10 18:55:13 UTC

Problem description: Double-clicking a background colour in the Format dialog should automatically close the dialog

Steps to reproduce:
1. Highlight some text
2. Click Format > Character
3. Click Background tab
4. Double-click a colour

Current behavior: The dialog does not automatically close

Expected behavior: The dialog should automatically close

Confirming the behaviour on

Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+
Build ID: 269b0b40814defe0241e8c79c1834e488ea13bc5


However, this is the default behaviour with LibreOffice.

Is the behaviour you desire the default in other applications ? At best, this might be a request for enhancement.

Thanks very much for your reply.

First, let me say I'm a huge fan of LibreOffice. With recent versions it's become a really good piece of software.

This was just something that bugged me slightly when using Writer to create a document just recently. I was doing a lot of highlighting text and changing the background over and over, and the extra click was slowing down the process a lot. It would feel a lot more natural (in my opinion!) and certainly speed up my particular use-case if a double-click would close the dialog.

What's more, at the moment a double-click does nothing (right?) So adding this behaviour just for a double-click shouldn't conflict with current usage patterns.

I've changed this to an enhancement request - thanks again, keep up the great work!

Seems fair enough to me, but I'm only a QA triager ;-)
