            Bug ID: 108522
           Summary: Discussion: Restore (or configure) old behavior when
                    clicking on an input field
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bernhard.widl at cib.de

Description:
Since LibreOffice 4.2, input fields can be edited in-place. This means,
clicking of an input field no longer opens the 'edit field' dialog, but selects
the field. Typing text will then change the field content without needing a
dialog.




Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open new Writer document
2. Enter a new input field. Click Insert, then enter a value for the field.
Click OK.
3. Left-Click on the input field.

Actual Results:  
The field content is selected.
a) Typing some text will replace the selection.
b) Inserting another input field will replace the current input field with the
new one.

Expected Results:
Clicking on an input field should trigger the "edit field" dialog.



Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
This change was intentional via "#i33737# enable in-place editing of Input
Fields" (branch aoo/trunk). Before that change (4.1.6 -> 4.2), clicking on an
input field triggered the "edit field" dialog where a new value could be
entered.

Should the behavior at least be configurable (for someone who wants to keep the
old behavior)?
