Hello Harold,
While playing with sentences in Writer as part of a previous thread I found what I think is a bug. I'd appreciate comments before filing an issue.

I'm using OOo 2.4 on Win XP Pro. I have a simple Writer document consisting of 4 sentences in a single paragraph like this:

This is a sentence. This is sentence number two. This is a third. This is the fourth sentence in this document.

If I position the cursor at the beginning of the *second* sentence and triple click, the sentence is selected. If I now press the Cursor Right key, the cursor moves to the beginning of the *third* sentence. So far so good. If I now triple click, the *second* sentence is selected again. I think this is a bug. I think the third sentence should have been selected. Shouldn't the "point of focus", or whatever it's called, have moved with the cursor and thus be at the start of the third sentence?
I do not think this is a bug. When you are pointing towards the second sentence, your mousepointer is in the vicinity of the second sentence. After triple clicking, you selected the whole sentence and perform some action (change font or whatever). By going to the right with arrow right, you move to the end of the sentence, ie. also to the beginning of the third sentence, but your mousepointer is still at the second sentence and by triple clicking you chose again the second sentence. This is indepent of which program you use, clicking with the mouse is a different story compared to moving around in a text with arrows.

Hope this clarifies.
Best regards
