            Bug ID: 129419
           Summary: Macro Editor Basic IDE causes "s" characters to be
                    inserted randomly into code.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: BASIC
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tfabris at gmail.com

On Mac OS X, in the Macro Editor IDE when editing BASIC macro code, there is
randomly the letter "s" is inserted into the code, causing the code to fail and
break in odd ways. This problem does not exist in the main LibreOffice program
where you edit real documents, it only exists in the Macro Editor IDE.


Root cause: The Macro Editor "SAVE" menu is grayed out if a save is not needed.

Only the macro editor grays out the save menu, the main document editors do not
gray it out.

In my operating system, I have configured the OS X operating system to use a
special shortcut key of CTRL-S for Save. This means that if the user
reflexively presses CTRL-S  to save while in the LibreOffice macro editor, then
if a save wasn't needed, the menu is grayed out and the user inserts and S
instead of saving. 

On the next press of CTRL-S after having inserted the "s" into the code, then,
the next CTRL-S works because the code has now had a change made to it, and it
saves the syntax error of the extra added S into the code.

This is extremely annoying and I keep ruining my code, and it makes the macro
editor very frustrating.

Note: I have not yet tried it with using Command-S (the OS X default) instead
of Ctrl-S. I don't know if the same thing happens with Command-S.

To aolve the problem, allow the Save menu to stay ungrayed all the time, like
the main document editor in the main product does.
