            Bug ID: 143298
           Summary: Writer: CTRL-TAB to cycle through suggestions for word
                    completion does not work
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Ediiting, Formatting: When editing text I am used to hitting CTRL-TAB to cycle
through suggestions for word completions. This behaviour is described in the
help documents of LibreOffice and works as expected in Calc: when editing text
in cells, CTRL-TAB does cycle alternatives.

However, Writer acts as if I only hit TAB: a tab stop is inserted. Other
shortcuts involving the CTRL key works as expected: CTRL-O to open files,
CTRL-S / CTRL-SHIFT-S to save, CTRL-Z to undo, etc.

I had the same problem with a LibreOffice install from the Ubuntu repositories.
I then asked a question at ask.libreoffice.org and was encouraged to try the
newer version from LibreOffice's PPA. The problem persists.
(https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/293091/word-completions-ctrl-tab-wont-cycle-alternative-words-does-not-work/)

I tried 

My system is (K)Ubuntu Studio 20.04 with LibreOffice Version: 7.1.4.2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Autocorrect > Autocorrect options > Word completion > Enable word
completion
2. Type the start of a long word in the list. The first option to complete
shows as a tooltip.
3. Hit CTRL-TAB to cycle to next option.

Actual Results:
Instead of cycling to the next option, a tab stop is inserted.

Expected Results:
Cycling to next option in word completion list.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
CTRL-TAB works as expected in other programs like Firefox or Thunderbird, and
even even in Calc.
