<pre>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)?
