Bug ID: 164252
Summary: Selecting diacritics is not possible in Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
It should be possible to select diacritics in LibreOffice Writer. This is not
yet possible.
There are two approaches to implement this:
1. Do something similar to MS Word, highlight part of the text. Using the
Alt+arrow keys, one may go step by step, and see the position of the
diacritics. These positions can be used for the implementation.
2. Highlight only the diacritic itself. This is more interesting, and should be
possible by knowing the rendering area of the diacritics. (Thanks Jonathan for
this hint)
Having both would be great. :-)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write some text with diacritics in Writer, like ٱللُّغَةُ ٱلْعَرَبِيَّة
2. Try to select diacritics
3. Do the same in Word
Actual Results:
It is not possible to select diacritics in Writer
Expected Results:
It should be possible to select diacritics using keyboard, and also mouse.
Please note that selection is only intended for separate characters. For
example in this piece of text:
ٱللُّغَةُ ٱلْعَرَبِيَّة
It is not intended to select diacritics on the top of alef ٱ, but you should be
able to select separate diacritics
Reproducible: Always
