--- Comment #1 from Sarvasri <elect...@triad.rr.com> ---
Writer makes editing difficult by not following the standards for word and
character selection when editing.
On the Mac, Writer does not select words properly.
When you double click a word, the word should be selected in full. This Writer
does correctly.
Then when you hold the shift key and single click another word, all the words
in between as well as the last word clicked should be selected in full, whole
words. All the whole words between the double click and the single click get
selected. This Writer gets wrong. It only selects to the point within the word
where it was clicked, not the whole word.
This dramatically slows down the selection of whole phrases when writing. It is
not the way word selection is supposed to work.
If you want to select partial words simply single click on the first word where
you want to break the word. Then hold shift and single click at where you want
to break the final word. All the letters between the two click are selected.
You can test this in TextEdit on the Mac. It is the standard for all Mac apps.
This needs to be fixed.
