[Bug 124244] New: Impossible to edit contents of existing Input field

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124244

            Bug ID: 124244
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Impossible to edit contents of existing Input field
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.0-dev
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: rainerbielefeld_ooo_qa@bielefeldundbuss.de
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

I found this one during research for "Bug 124243 - Can't enter data into input
fields in protected sections"

It seems impossible to edit contents of existing 'Input Field' with server
installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale -
[AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1566800 - 2014-02-12]" on German WIN7 Home Premium
(64bit)", own separate user profile.?

1. From AOO Start Center open blank new Writer document 
2. Menu 'Isert -> Fields -> Other -> Functions (TAB) Input field'
   Dialog to edit Input field shown
3. Into 'Reference iput line type "Reference" [Insert]
   > Input Dialog appears, shows "Reference" in first line
4. 'Type "Contents" into bigger input pane' [OK]
   > Second dialog disappears
6. [Close]
    > Field appears in document
7. Double Click
   Expected: contents "Contents" can be eidited
   Actual: Name "Reference" can be edited

Something muddled in Dialog?

10. Save and Close document
11. Reopen with 4.0.1
    > here as expected you can modify Contents after click on Field

old monkeys and new tricks ... ;-)
I remembered that there have been changes, but the wikis are down ....

Indeed, the in-place-editing works fine, so for the core of the report
"NOT_AN_ISSUE"

I see some effects in this area what need getting used to (for me), I will
think about that and read the 4.1. release notes (when wikies will be back)
before a statement.

Thx for the fast reply and I am looking forward to your feedback regarding the
documentation about the in-place editing of Input Fields.

I think I did not documented the change regarding the Double-Click.

Correction to my given feedback:
- Former versions (4.0.1 and before):
A Single-Click on an Input Field pops up the "Edit Input Field" dialog. I am
not able to trigger a function on Double-Click, because the first Click already
open the "Edit Input Field" dialog.

- Current code (planned 4.1.0):
A Single-Click selects the content of Input Field and the user is able to
replace the content. A further Click should place the cursor into the content
without any selection. A Double-Click pops up the "Field's property" dialog -
may be with is a side effect as the Single-Click no longer pops up a dialog.

I can confirm the described behavior.

What has been changed in the current code for the next release (my changes for
bug 33737) is that on Double-Click on an Input Field no longer the "Edit Input
Field" dialog pops up. The content of an Input Field can be now edited
in-place. I changed the Double-Click function to pop up the "Field's property"
dialog - the same which you get via Context Menu - Fields. This dialog behaves
as in OOo 3.3.0 as far as I can see. And yes, this dialog does not provide a
good user experience.

Thus, current the described behavior is no defect for me.

@Rainer: What is your opinion?
