[Bug 17439] New: Select All (ctrl+a) does not work in dialogue boxes
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17439 Summary: Select All (ctrl+a) does not work in dialogue boxes Product: Wine Version: 1.1.14 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: sesshomaru_2k3(a)hotmail.com While using NewsLeecher with Wine v1.1.14 on Ubuntu 8.10 I noticed that in dialogue boxes the ctrl+a short-cut for select all does not work. The ctrl button itself works while selecting files however. I then fired up NotePad, and verified that ctrl+a in the main window selects all written text as expected. However, in the "Open file" dialog, after clicking in the file name box (to make it active) ctrl+a does nothing. The same behaviour is noted with the "Save as" dialogue. I believe this is a bug relative to dialogue boxes. It would be nice to have it fixed as I personally enjoy keyboard shortcuts and use this often.

Selection after a click is a different (and not related problem). Pressing Ctrl+a in a file selection box doesn't work neither in XP nor in Vista for me in notepad.

By default the text box that contains the file to open/save is empty. First single-click any file in the file browser window, this should now make the file name appear in the text box. When you first click the name in the text box it will auto-select all (which you said is a separate issue). Click somewhere in the text box again or press an arrow key to deselect everything. Then, while the text box is still active press ctrl+a and it should reselect all of the text in the box again. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I do not have an installed copy of Windows XP to test it on right now, but if I remember I will try to find one at work and test it. Do you have an English copy of windows? Perhaps the key-mapping is a bit different.

The original bug was about NewsLeecher though, and I can personally see why someone would want that; particularly if an app uses dialog boxes to display useful messages..

It's invalid because this behaviour is different even in Windows.

Dmitry, I think you are misunderstanding the issue. The bug report is about "Open file" dialog in Newsleecher. I don't have that installed so I tried 3 random programs that I recently installed on WindowXP and in wine. The three are: Newsbin Pro 5.5; Lotus WordPro R9; Microsoft VisualStudio 6.0. All three of these program allow multiple files to select in the open file dialog (with ctrl key) and all respond (selecting all files) to ctrl+A in winXP but not under wine. As I read it, this is exactly what the bug reporter describes. Notepad on the other hand allows only a single file to be selected ( it only allows one document to be edited at the same time, so that make sense). It does not react to selecting with the ctrl key and does not react to ctrl+A. I think it is a bad choice of program to assess the validity of this bug report. My guess is that ctrl+A should become active when the flag OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT is used in the GetOpenFileName call. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

So his ctrl-A key press is working. Good to know that that is not the problem then. And no, this is not the edit control but the file-view. The edit control is described as "the text-box where the filename is placed", in comment #4. Once you see the behavior in an application that allows multiple selections, the intended meaning of the bug reporter is absolutely clear. Now read the part that you snipped. And comments #3, #4 and #12. The bug reporter states and repeats that this is a problem with the file dialog in Newsleecher that behaves different in Windows XP as in wine. I verified some other apps showing that this bug is quite common. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

The Comment #4 clearly describes that the behaviour description is about text boxes in dialog windows, that's why he compares it with edit box in notepad's main window.
There's no need to catfight over it.

Dmitry, I don't have a Windows box nearby to test this with, but I also believe you are misunderstanding the issue (just like I did at first as well):
Newsbin Pro 5.5; Lotus WordPro R9; Microsoft VisualStudio 6.0. All three of these program allow multiple files to select in the open file dialog (with ctrl key) and all respond (selecting all files) to ctrl+A in winXP but not under wine.
