    • CWS : dba32c integrated in DEV300m52


  • 89821 : multi-line text form controls preserving their selection
    • Description : Multi-line text controls in forms now preserve their selection when losing and re-gaining the focus, making text exchange (like multiple cut'n'pastes) somewhat easier this way.

    • Specification : - -
    • Test case specification : - -

    • Test case specification : - -
    • CWS : dba32a integrated in DEV300m47


  • 96429 : property browser: mouse-selection-behavior in property combo boxes changed
    • Description : In the property browser, for properties displayed using a combo box (so you can enter free text, but select from a pre-defined list of possible options as well), the behavior for mouse selections changed: Formerly, when you selected an entry from the list, you needed to focus another cell somewhere else before the changed value was committed (even though it was already entered into the text field). Now, the property value is committed already when you select the entry from the list, which makes the work flow somewhat smoother in many cases.

  • 97356 : button control properties: renamed the action-related events
    • Description : Form control buttons feature two events which are fired when the button is pressed, one to veto the actual firing, and one to do an actual action associated with the button. Formerly, they were called "Before commencing" and "When initiating", and as such a constant source of confusion, since it was non-obvious which event to use for which purpose. This situation hopefully improved a little bit with renaming the events (in the property browser) to "Approve action" and "Execute action".

  • 99056 : form control property browser: added Position, Size, and Anchor
    • Description : In the property browser for form controls, you can now also change the position and size of the control, as well as its anchor (in document types where anchoring is supported, e.g. text docs and spreadsheets). This is especially useful when you want to modify the geometry of multiple controls at once, which previously required invocation of a modal dialog for every control, and now can be done by selecting all controls, and simply entering the new value(s) in the property browser.

    • Description : When displaying the properties of a form control in the property browser, the "Font" property will now display the name, the style (regular, bold, italic) and the size of the current control font. (previously the respective field was simply empty, and the font could only be seen when opening the Character Set dialog.)

  • 101587 : Use the configuration to describe database drivers
    • Description : Currently the db drivers are hard coded in OOo. The integration of new ones as extension isn't possible. Therefor all drivers have to bring their own configuration with them. Each driver has to define: ... (see details in the feature announcement)

Component : Formula Editor / Math


Component : Framework

  • 100123 : Allow to turn off lock-file base document file locking.
    • Description : To work properly, the lock-file based document file locking in OOo needs the possibility to create a lock file in the way that it does not replace the existing one and to remove it. Although normally there are possibilities to do it, sometimes this is not the case. ... (see more details in the feature announcement)

  • 4756 : Keyboard shortcut configuration dialog now supports "ALT" modifier
    • Description : Though the configuration itself was able to handle it all the time, the dialog for configuring keyboard shorcuts never allowed to use the ALT-key. Now ALT as well als SHIFT-ALT, CTRL-ALT, SHIFT-CTRL-ALT modifiers can be used in the dialog. The dialog does not check if a shortcut can be used or if the system already catches it. The easiest way to find out if the shortcut is usable is to use it to navigate to the corresponding entry in the listbox before trying to assign a command to it.

  • 88878 : Basic dialog controls: new property "Visible"
    • Description : The new boolean property "Visible" has been added to all UNO dialog control types. This property controls whether or not the control shall be visible in the living dialog. Note that if this property is set to "Yes" (the default, mimicking the behavior as known up to 3.1), this not necessarily means the control will really appear in the dialog. Additional constraints are applied when calculating a control's effective visibility. For instance, a control belonging to a non-current step of the dialog is still hidden. OpenOffice.org versions up to OOo 3.1 will silently ignore this property when reading UNO dialogs which make use of it.
