Bug#479366: [openoffice.org-writer] OOo 2.4 - shift-mouse selection can be abbreviated
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.0-5
Severity: minor
if you select a text with mouse than you cannot remove some part
selected using only the mouse and the shift key, as in all other
programs and in OOo < 2.4.
To reproduce the bug:
0) Open OOoWriter
1) write some text
for example
this is a text line
2) use the mouse (left button) to select a text portion then old down
shift key
for example select "is a"
3) release the mouse button then click at end of next word to include
this in the selection
in the example will be selected "is a text"
4) release the mouse button then click at start of the last selected
word ... nothing happen!
as workaround you can use cursor key to remove part of the selection
Ciao
