Priority: medium
Bug ID: 78539
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: default action for autocomplete
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: krish.pil...@ieee.org
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.3.3 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
When user types in values into a box in Calc, the autocomplete feature inserts
proposed text without user acknowledgement. This makes it very error prone
esepcially if the user is not watching the screen continously. Any input
proposed by the software should require user acknowledgement such as tab or
left arrow to be accepted. The current implementation assumes that the user
wants proposed text without any form of acknowledgement. This is incorrect.
Example:
User type in "A+" and Enter key. Action: "A+" is entered into box.
USer moves to next box and types in "A" and Enter. Action: Calc inserts "+" as
proposed text and by default accepts it. The software behaves inconsistently
for the same input.
The proper action should be to hit "A" and then a Tab or a left arrow to accept
any proposed text (+ in the above case) followed by Enter.
