            Bug ID: 127608
           Summary: IMPRESS: cannot move table with arrrow keys
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mathematikus at gmx.de

Description:
In impress, when I mark a table (i.e. click it once) and then press an arrow
key (e.g. arrow left) then the table does NOT move. (Instead the curser jumps
into a table cell.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new slide show in impress
2. put some text into the title text box and the content text box
3. now insert a "table", e.g. by "insert" - "table..." from the menue. (5 by 2
is fine)
4. click somewhere outside the table with the mouse.
5. now click once onto the border of the table, to mark it "as a whole".
6. press an arrow key on the keyboard, e.g. arrow left

Actual Results:
The table does NOT move. Instead the cursor jumps into one of the cell in the
table. (Repeating the array key then moves the curser from cell to cell.)

Expected Results:
I expected the whole table to move in the direction of the key stroke. (Because
this is also how I move images around in Impress.)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This behavior makes it very difficult to fine position a table in a slide show.
You can only position it with the mouse (but you need to precisely "hit" the
thin border of the table to make this happen.) It would be much easier to do it
with the keyboard, using the arrow key, and maybe additionally the Alt-key (as
I am used to by moving images around in Impress slide shows.)
