------- Additional comments from f...@openoffice.org Wed Dec 17 10:05:41 +0000 2008 ------- In the property browser (used in the Sun Report Builder as well as other places, e.g. the form design), there are various properties which allow selecting their value from a combo box, that is, a control comprised of an edit field for direct text input, and a drop down list for choosing from a list. Unlike properties represented by a list box, when the user clicks onto an list entry of a combo box, this change is not immediately accepted. Instead, the user needs to move the focus away from the combo box control, to actually apply her changes. This is pretty inconvenient. Especially in cases where the commitment of the new value leads to other UI changes, the additional step of clicking somewhere else, just to confirm the selection, is annoying. An example is the "Content" property in the Sun Report Builder's property browser (when inspecting the complete report object). Once the user enters an existing table/query here, the floating "Add Field" window opens automatically, allowing the user to immediately proceed with the field selection. In current versions, this window only opens after clicking the list entry (table/query), and then clicking somewhere else. The requested behavior is that clicking the list entry is sufficient. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
