Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96733
Tab key does not work
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:00 UTC
With "Ooo 3.1 Multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [DEV300m36 (Build 9369)]" I have the problem that the TAB key does not work in some documents. Currently it seems that those documents have been created from a template document witn 3.1. You should be able to reproduce the problem with attached "mytest.odt" or with an own new document created from an own new WRITER template document.
Created attachment 58414 [details] TAB key will not work in sample document
MRU->OS: see attached document, when opened in DEV300m36build, no tab character could be entered there. Works fine with OO 3.0m9.
->ama: This is due to the integration of cws swenhancefields2. The following line (around 1899) is the one to blame: if (rSh.IsFormProtected() || rSh.IsInFieldBookmark()!=NULL || rSh.GetChar(FALSE)==CH_TXT_ATR_FORMELEMENT)
move target to 3.2.
@ama: do we have a chance for a fix for 3.1 since this is a regression ?
Oliver, please take over
The bug document has been created in DEV300 m36. Due to an uninitialized value in that version the property ProtectForm is set to true in the settings.xml: <config:config-item config:name="ProtectForm" config:type="boolean">true</config:config-item> Changing that value to false will fix the TabStop problem.
