Description Ian Balchin 2014-06-10 16:57:59 UTC

When you have highlighted a portion of text in one field, highlighting a portion of text in another field does not automatically cause the first area of highlighting to be deselected. You then have highlighted portions visible in multiple fields

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any form to show data
2. Highlight a selected area of text in any one field
3. Repeat 2 for a second or more fields
Actual Results:  
The selected text in the first field remains highlighted along with the selected text in the second (or more) fields.

Expected Results:  
Highlighting a second selection of text in another field should cause the first selection of text to be deselected.

I find no previously reported bug.

Thanks. Could you post a screenshot? Do you see the same issue regardless of widget type you use: Text Box or Text Editor? (I see it in Text Editor only)

Comment 2 Jarosław Staniek 2014-06-11 13:37:54 UTC

One thing is that selection in an unfocused Text Editor looks (in terms of colour) like a selection in a focused one. That's misleading. But if we agree that the fix is to de-select before focusing out, colour of inactive selection isn't relevant.

I believe that this behaviour affects only Text Editor type fields. Text Box type fields are exempt. The top row of fields are Text Box type. The first one 'Hash No' is highlighted but if I try and select text from others in that row - 'Subjec' or 'Date', then the text in 'Hash No' is deselected/

Unselecting text from for kexi's form text editor inactive element

KTextEdit does not provide deselect method therefore it had to be
implemented by manually moving cursor to the end in focusOutEvent
