[Issue 126696] New: Hitting enter in paragraph spacing field should
not affect document
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126696
Issue ID: 126696
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Hitting enter in paragraph spacing field should not
affect document
Product: Writer
Version: 4.0.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Minor
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: formatting
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: b@my.fit.edu
Created attachment 85168
--> https://bz.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=85168&action=edit
Document with sample text for testing
OS: Windows 7 SP 1 (64bit)
Version: AOO401m5 (Build:9714) - R1524958
Issue:
OpenOffice automatically applies changes to above/below paragraph spacing as
you type, which is a great feature. However, some users may press Enter anyways
in an attempt to apply changes, perhaps out of habit or based on experiences in
similar programs.
My expectation was that hitting enter after changing above paragraph spacing
would do one of the following:
1. If Writer hadn't automatically applied my new spacing yet, enter would force
the input parser to begin right away and apply the changes.
2. If the program had already applied my new spacing, hitting enter would do
nothing.
Instead, hitting enter inserted a new line in my document while my text cursor
was still focused on the above paragraph spacing field. This seems like a bug –
it's my impression that Writer shouldn't be creating new lines in the document
through this field - only adjusting the spacing settings on the current
selection.
This occurs when both having text and not having text selected in the document.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached document.odt
2. Highlight the value in the above-paragraph spacing field (should be
default/zero)
3. Type the number 1
4. Hit enter

Configuration:
Windows 10 (64-bit)
Version: AOO412m3 (Build ID 9782)
Summary: Bug was successfully replicated and appears to be an issue with the
entire properties sidebar (not just the spacing field). Deletions upon pressing
enter could cause inconvenience to the user.
One way to replicate:
Open a document in OpenOffice writer
If the properties sidebar is not present, click “view” on the taskbar and then
check the sidebar option
Write some text in the main document (does not matter what)
In the properties sidebar, click into the above paragraph spacing field
Highlight the default (0) number and type 1
Press enter
As mentioned in the original report, this error causes an insertion of an
“enter” press in the text document even though that is clearly not what the
user is trying to do (they are editing fields in a sidebar). More specifically,
if no text is selected, the new line caused by the enter appears where the user
last had the cursor in the document. However, if the user has selected a chunk
of text, the enter press deletes the text and places the newline at the end of
the deleted text segment. For most users who do not expect this sort of
behavior, this type of unexpected deletion could prove both inconveniencing and
confusing.
One important thing to note about this bug is that it does not just apply to
just the paragraph spacing fields (above and below). This is a consistent issue
with any field in the properties sidebar that controls the formatting of text.
This includes the three indent fields as well as text size. From running this
on the text size field in the properties sidebar (which results in the same
behavior) it is interesting to note that this issue does not persist when
pressing enter on the text side field in the main taskbar. This issue appears
to be specifically isolated to editing fields in the properties sidebar and
nowhere else.

I was able to reproduce the bug with the step by step instructions. I did find
a new bug with the font styles.
Steps:
1- Type any text in document
2- Highlight any text
3- Select the bold icon - text is now bolded
4- Hit enter - text deletes
5- Again repeat steps using other font styles and same results
Per the other comments it does appear the its the entire side bar is not
working correctly.

Taskbar vs. Sidebar Font Size Fields
Attached is a visual of the fields that can change font size to make the issue
easier to replicate.
