Package: openoffice.org Version: 1:2.4.1-12 Severity: normal Reported upstream: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80604
openoffice takes a single alt keypress to focus the menu bar. This is pointless, because each of the menu options have accelerators that can be invoked with alt-letter, and if someone really wants to use just focus the menubar, then they can press the standard F10 intended for this. Even in the Windows world, I believe it is non standard behaviour to focus the menu upon a single alt-keypress. It is certainly non standard in the Debian world. It breaks accessibility: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/285407 It breaks the ability to invoke window manager functions that are bound to some alt+ combination, and then come back to openoffice and begin immediately typing again. If one does start to type, then one will invoke random menu options that certainly weren't intended. It does not suffice simply to check that openoffice lost the focus then gained it back again, because the window management functions bound to the alt key may not lead to loss of focus at all (eg, alt-f9 on my system pauses my music player). I may even begin to type an alt-keypress combination then abort that before I start typing. None of this should cause me to have to abort the opening of a menubar I didn't want. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: ii openoffice.org-base 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite - data ii openoffice.org-calc 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite - spre ii openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite archit ii openoffice.org-draw 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite - draw ii openoffice.org-filter-mobiled 1:2.4.1-12 Mobile Devices Filters for OpenOff ii openoffice.org-impress 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite - pres ii openoffice.org-java-common 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite Java s ii openoffice.org-math 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite - equa ii openoffice.org-officebean 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org Office Bean ii openoffice.org-report-builder 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org Report Builder exte ii openoffice.org-writer 1:2.4.1-12 OpenOffice.org office suite - word ii openoffice.org-writer2latex 0.5-8 Writer/Calc to LaTeX/XHTML convert ii ttf-dejavu 2.25-3 Metapackage to pull in ttf-dejavu- ii ttf-liberation 1.04.92-1 Free fonts with the same metrics a Versions of packages openoffice.org recommends: ii openoffice.org-filter-binfilt 1:2.4.1-12 Legacy filters (e.g. StarOffice 5.
