Bug ID: 146889
Summary: LibreOffice 7.2.3.2 on Ubuntu 21.10 does Not Accept
xdotool input
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: b...@xenotropic.net
Description:
If I type
sleep 3 && xdotool type "Hello World"
and then switch to most text-editable windows (tested: Thunderbird, Chrome,
RDPWindows / MSWord), then Hello World is typed. But not LibreOffice Writer or
Calc (have not tested other LO components).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter sleep 3 && xdotool type "Hello World" into a console
2. Switch to Writer within three seconds
3. See nothing happen
4. Try steps 1-3 with any other text-editable field/window
Actual Results:
Nothing
Expected Results:
"Hello World" typed in
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
This impairs nerd-dictation (Vosk voice-to-text) functionality, see
https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation/issues/37
The nerd-dictation dev tested this and could not reproduce on
libreoffice-fresh-7.2 on Arch.
This was not always broken for me -- I know I used nerd-dictation in the past
in Writer. It seemed to break in the update from Ubuntu 18 to 21.10, which
include a change from X to Wayland, so perhaps related. But still, it's
something at least partly specific to Writer/LO because xdotool can type to
other windows just fine.
