------- Additional comments from ldcrobe...@openoffice.org Mon Aug 31 21:02:50 +0000 2009 ------- Guys this has nothing to do with 18004 - it is a separate issue. What is being requested is an ability for an external application to determine where the text cursor entry point is on the screen. Most applications on windows (wordpad, notepad, MS-Word, hundreds of others) use the standard OS cursor so that means that applications which follow the cursor (such as intellisense prompts) can draw near the cursor while the user is typing. Standard applications exist for this and they work for 99% of apps, but don't work for Open Office as it is operating the text cursor in a non-standard way. The original poster is requesting that along with the non-standard cursor, open office simply manages the standard cursor, hidden, in the same location, so that generic external cursor applications can function. Without this functionality, OpenOffice writer will be less appealing to high users of text-addons that follow the cursor - such as helper tools for medical transcriptionists etc - as the add-ons will simply be incompatible with open office but will work with hundreds of other word processors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
