Bug ID: 94513
Summary: editing: Improvement: text completion should include
validity values
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: palmierivinc....@gmail.com
This problem occurs when a cell has a list or a range of cells as validity
criteria:
I've seen many people trying to type the first letters, expecting the good text
to appear by completion. It works fine if the text has already been typed in
another place and is in the history. Otherwise, users open the dropdown list,
but the cursor position in the list is not related to the first letters typed.
I've seen several people disturbed by this and give up, saying "it's odd" or
"it doesn't work".
It can be improved by two non-exclusive ways:
1. When a cell has a list or a range of cells as validity criteria, add this
range/list to the texts available by completion
2. When a cell has a list or a range of cells as validity criteria, when the
user opens the dropdown list after having typed some letters, the dropdown
list's cursor should be at the closest item to the typed text.
