Description David REVOY 2011-11-01 20:39:31 UTC

Version:           svn trunk
OS:                Linux

If you want to edit a text on the canvas , you have to switch to the mouse , because a double click with a stylus actually don't work. But double click with a mouse works. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
with a stylus :
- select the text tool ( second tool on toolbar )
- trace on canvas a diagonal to set the size of a text box
- double click on it to edit edit

Actual Results:  
nothing happen

Expected Results:  
text enter in 'edit mode' ( blinking cursor at the end, as double click with mouse on it do )

Tested on laptop / main computer.

Right...

Comment 2 Sven Langkamp 2012-10-15 17:16:22 UTC

Is this still valid? Now it should enter into text editing automatically.

Comment 3 David REVOY 2013-01-15 21:27:03 UTC

I confirm this bug is still on master now. Sorry for late reply.

I was about to file the same bug but it is general about ALL vector shapes: 
Draw a/some shape, select it;
after selecting a shape, it's impossible now to enter edit mode with the stylus. It used to be right-click, but now it opens the pop-up palette...

I suggest to bring back the right-click one, or ctrl-click which is useless currently with vector "arrow" tool.
(double-click with stylus is a bad shortcut idea anyway, better not try to fix it and find another way).

note: I think it's somehow an important/critical bug, as it makes editing shapes with stylus impossible and require mouse-switch everytime

Comment 5 animtim 2013-01-20 22:26:57 UTC

Another note: to speed-up access to edit mode, instead of having to select it first, just using right-click or ctrl-click or whatever we choose as said above, on a shape even not selected would "select it+enter edit mode" in one step. This would be cool.

However, double-click probably will never work: double click with a stylus is just very hard to achieve. But you can always select the shape, then the right tool with the stylus.

Comment 7 Halla Rempt 2013-12-11 13:39:02 UTC

The only real problem is the text shape since there is no text tool that activates the text shape anymore. But al the various click-options are really hard to integrate with calligra :-(

going to put this back into krita bugs - because if it stays here in text tool I will close it - using a stylus when editing text does not take priority over being able to double click

Comment 9 Halla Rempt 2015-08-11 07:13:35 UTC

I'm afraid that there just isn't a good way to solve this with the current vector shape interaction model.
