Although I cannot speak authoritatively, I added my opinion in the text:

Hi
OOo (version 3.2.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit) behaves in a strange way. Here are a
few examples.
1) The String property of the view cursor doesn't seem to work when text is
selected in a table cell.
The following macro displays the selected text. When the selected text is
inside a table cell, nothing is displayed.
Option Explicit
Sub Main
dim viewCursor : viewCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
MsgBox viewCursor.string
End Sub
I concur that this is very string. I fully expected the view cursor to
function inside of a text table. Notice, however, that the following
will work for this specific example:
ThisComponent.CurrentController.getSelection().getByIndex(0).getString()
You might also notice that the view cursor fails to return a string when
there is more than one selection, so, the argument could be made that
you must rely on the selection rather than the view cursor.
2) The GotoNextWord function has a strange behavior: when there is no next
word in the current paragraph, it moves the cursor to the next paragraph,
even if the paragraph is empty and is followed by a non empty paragraph.
Furthermore, when the current paragraph is followed by a table instead of an
empty paragraph, the function skips the table completely.
Option Explicit
Sub Main
dim viewCursor : viewCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
dim textCursor : textCursor = _
viewCursor.Text.CreateTextCursorByRange(viewCursor.Start)
textCursor.GotoNextWord(False)
ThisComponent.CurrentController.Select(textCursor)
End Sub
A text cursor is tied to a specific text object and cannot work in a
different text object. Each cell in a table contains its own text
object. Your text cursor, therefore MUST skip things such as frames and
tables. Even more unusual, if you place the cursor in a cell, you can
not use GotoNextWord to jump out of that cell (because the next cell
uses a different text object).
As for jumping to an empty paragraph... I must sit on the fence for that
one. I can argue either way that a paragraph start signals the start of
a word...
3) The GotoEndOfWord function doesn't work when the word ends with a @.
Option Explicit
Sub Main
dim viewCursor : viewCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.ViewCursor
dim textCursor : textCursor = _
viewCursor.Text.CreateTextCursorByRange(viewCursor.Start)
textCursor.GotoEndOfWord(True)
MsgBox textCursor.String
end sub
On the contrary, the function GotoStartOfWord works as expected when the view
cursor is after the @.
I assume that this is because it treats email addresses as a single
word, so, there is special treatment for @. This sure feels like a bug
to me (that it cannot find the word end). The trick, however, is, should
it then include the @ as it does for an email address?
start of word is consistent in that it fails if the @ is at the start of
the word.
4) The GotoEndOfWord function works when the view cursor is at the beginning a
field, while the GotoStartOfWord function doesn't work when the view cursor
is at the end of the field (same macro as above).
Could someone please tell me whether or not this behavior is normal?
OK, I stopped testing, but, this sounds like a bug to me.
Regards,
Patrick
