[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 34804] New: Keyboard shortcut for Highlighting no longer works

Summary: Keyboard shortcut for Highlighting no longer works
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.3.1 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Mac OS X (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: UI
AssignedTo: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: ***@nuss.se


With the new "drop down" color palette for Highlighting (LibreColors) and a
keyboard shortcut applied, the keyboard shortcut for highlighting doesn't apply
any color. The shortcut reverts the color of the selected text to "No Fill" if
the text is highlighted, though. (This works in OpenOffice 3.3.0 with the old
floating color palette.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Writer document
2. Go to Tools > Customize... > Keyboard
3. Select Format from the Category list and Highlighting from the Function list
4. Apply it to the keyboard combination of your choice (I chose Cmd+Y)
5. Click OK
6. Type anything in the Writer document
7. Select some text
8. Press the keyboard combination from 4 above

Actual results:
The text remains unhighlighted.

Expected results:
The text should be highlighted like if the toolbar button was clicked.

Steps to reproduce, continued:
9. Click the Highlighting button in the toolbar and make sure the text is
highlighted
10. Press the keyboard combination from 4 above

Actual results:
The text becomes highlighted

Expected results:
The text becomes highlighted

---

As illustrated above, the keyboard shortcut works as expected for
unhighligting, but not for highlighting.

Reproducible (?) with "LibreOffice 3.4.3 RC1 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German
UI [OOO340m1 (Build:301)]". I associated <ctrl+f5> to 'Format - Highlight' (or
in German: 'Format - Zeichenhintergrund').
I can confirm reporter's observation that higlighted text will become text
without highlighting when I press <ctrl+f5> after having selected that text.
That's unexpected, I also would have expected that a click on the
"Highlighting" icon would have been simulated.

But that also works in the same way with LibO 3.3.3 Portable, OOo 3.1.1. OOo
3.4 seems to do nothing with 'Format -Highlighting' via shortcut.

Nevertheless, IMHO this is a bug.

And BTW: A shortcut for 'Format - Font Color Fill' will work as expected and
simulate a click on the 'Font Color' icon.
BTW: shortcut for 'Format - Font Color' (first item from list) will do nothing,
shortcut for 'Format - Font Color' (seconditem from list) will bring up the
'Character Format' dialog; what ever tht might mean.

Althoug consistence with other LibO applications has to be kept in mind, I see
this one as a WRITER bug.

Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old
unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs
promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed
making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.
