<html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head><body style="zoom: 0%;"><div dir="auto">The general expected behavior in libre office, at least for me, is that if I place the cursor and start typing, that it will continue using the same attributes and properties of the character directly to the left of the cursor. So, if I have bold text, and I placed the cursor to the left of the bold text and I type, it will not be bold, it will be whatever is to the left of the cursor. If the cursor is immediately to the right of the bold text however then it will be bold.<br><br></div> <div dir="auto">In this case, I assume, but have not verified or checked in anyway, references are a field. So the intent of this is to make certain that when the cursor is sitting directly to the left or right of, whatever is typed does not end up inside of that field. One side effect of this I expect, is that if you have a field with only one character you will have no way of modifying the text inside the field unless there is some special case when the text of the field is selected. I did not even check, can I select the text in a field? So what if the selection is partially in a field?<br><br></div> <div dir="auto">I would never have considered this a bug, I would have just considered it an extension of expected behavior. The annoying part is that if the field is the last thing in a file you have no way to add text after the field unless you do it programmatically, but that is also true last I checked of text tables.<br><br></div> <div dir="auto">I hope other contributors to comments in the bugs are correct that it is an easy fix, but I am skeptical.<br><br></div> <div dir="auto">Get <a href="https://bluemail.me">BlueMail for Android</a> </div> <div class="gmail_quote" >On Aug 19, 2022, at 9:41 AM, Phillips Rogfield <<a href="mailto:thebudget72@gmail.com" target="_blank">thebudget72@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="markdown-here-wrapper" data-md-url="" style=""> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Dear developers,</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">I would like to fix <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81720#c22">bug 81720</a>.</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Basically when you insert a ReferenceMark, if you put the cursor at the edge of it (start or end), and type something, it will expand on the reference mark instead of writing it as a “normal text”.</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">You can find how to reproduce it in comment <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81720#c22">22</a>.</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">I have set up my environment, but I’m not sure where is the code that “checks” if something is a ReferenceMark, if anything.</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Can you point me in the right direction, please?</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Best,</p> <p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em !important;">Phil</p> <div title="MDH:PHA+RGVhciBkZXZlbG9wZXJzLDwvcD48cD5JIHdvdWxkIGxpa2UgdG8gZml4IFtidWcgODE3MjBdKGh0dHBzOi8vYnVncy5kb2N1bWVudGZvdW5kYXRpb24ub3JnL3Nob3dfYnVnLmNnaT9pZD04MTcy MCNjMjIpLjwvcD48cD5CYXNpY2FsbHkgd2hlbiB5b3UgaW5zZXJ0IGEgUmVmZXJlbmNlTWFyaywg aWYgeW91IHB1dCB0aGUgY3Vyc29yIGF0IHRoZSBlZGdlIG9mIGl0IChzdGFydCBvciBlbmQpLCBh bmQgdHlwZSBzb21ldGhpbmcsIGl0IHdpbGwgZXhwYW5kIG9uIHRoZSByZWZlcmVuY2UgbWFyayBp bnN0ZWFkIG9mIHdyaXRpbmcgaXQgYXMgYSAibm9ybWFsIHRleHQiLjwvcD48cD5Zb3UgY2FuIGZp bmQgaG93IHRvIHJlcHJvZHVjZSBpdCBpbiBjb21tZW50IFsyMl0oaHR0cHM6Ly9idWdzLmRvY3Vt ZW50Zm91bmRhdGlvbi5vcmcvc2hvd19idWcuY2dpP2lkPTgxNzIwI2MyMikuPC9wPjxwPkkgaGF2 ZSBzZXQgdXAgbXkgZW52aXJvbm1lbnQsIGJ1dCBJJ20gbm90IHN1cmUgd2hlcmUgaXMgdGhlIGNv ZGUgdGhhdCAiY2hlY2tzIiBpZiBzb21ldGhpbmcgaXMgYSBSZWZlcmVuY2VNYXJrLCBpZiBhbnl0 aGluZy48L3A+PHA+Q2FuIHlvdSBwb2ludCBtZSBpbiB0aGUgcmlnaHQgZGlyZWN0aW9uLCBwbGVh c2U/PC9wPjxwPkJlc3QsPC9wPjxwPlBoaWw8YnI+PC9wPg==" aria-hidden="true" style="height:0;width:0;max-height:0;max-width:0;overflow:hidden;font-size:0;padding:0;margin:0;"></div> </div> </blockquote></div></body></html>
