Bug ID: 167930
Summary: Removing the accessible selection unexpectedly sets
the caret offset to 0
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Using AT-SPI2 to remove/clear the selection in a paragraph results in the caret
being moved to the start of the paragraph. It should instead leave the caret
where it was, but unselect the text.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document and type at least 10 characters.
2. Select some characters in the middle.
3. Use AT-SPI2 to remove the selection.
Here's an example of doing 3 via Accerciser's iPython console:
In: text = acc.queryText()
In: text.caretOffset
Out: 8 << End of selection. Good.
In: text.getNSelections()
Out: 1
In: selection = text.getSelection(0)
In: selection[0]
Out: 4 << Start offset of selection. Good.
In: selection[1]
Out: 8 << End offset of selection, caret offset. Good.
In: text.removeSelection(0)
Out: True
In: text.caretOffset
Out: 0 << Why??
Actual Results:
Removing the selection resets the caret to the beginning of the paragraph.
Expected Results:
Removing the selection would leave the caret in place (in the above steps,
offset 8).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
