| Summary | 0001076: Placement Position Entry can be improved | ||||
| Description | When we add a new solid to the drawing, then FreeCAD places it at the origin. As one of the most frequent operation, we will want to change its position and orientation. What I do: - Create a Box Solid - In the Labels and Attributes view, click on the node e.g. Box001 - Click on the label "Height" which highlights/selects the value - start typing e.g. 55 Expected behavior: FreeCAD should accept the value, overwriting the existing value of 10.00 Actual behavior: FreeCAD executes the first number 5 as standard bottom view command Notes: I need this kind of entry as default behavior (value highlighted and ready for editing) because I don't want to spend any effort to use the mouse to drag over all the existing digits just to overtype the existing digits. | ||||

On my system it behaves like this: When I create and select the box as described and select e.g. the item "Height" in the property editor and press 5 it indeed invokes the standard view command. This happens because the spin box doesn't have the focus. However, when I press on the item right to the item "Height" then the spin box gets the focus and pressing 5 has the expected behaviour. And therefore I don't have to select anything because the numbers in the spin box are already selected. |

I may have an old version: 0.13 rev 1828. wmayer, what is your operating system? I have Windows XP. With the following sequence, I need 3 mouse clicks to get the number into the field, on the first 2 mouse clicks the spin box gets it: - Click on Label "Height". I mean the label left of the input field. I do this to get the whole "10.00" selected which I want to overtype with 5 so I get 5.00 with one keystroke. - type a number e.g. 5 -> spin box gets the number - after this, click between 1 and the first 0 - type 0 -> spin box gets the number again - after this, click again between 1 and the first 0 -> Only now the field gets focus first time but the highlight is gone - type 5 -> number 150.00mm is accepted But I did not want 150. I wanted 5. On my system, I can see the number field highlighted in blue, but the cursor is not blinking on it. Only after clicking again, I can see the cursor, but the highlight is gone. This is very irritating. I don't see this type of behavior in any other application on this computer. There is an invisible difference between 2 states: 1) highlighted with no focus, 2) highlighted with focus Even if I double-click on the input field to get 10.0 highlighted and editable, the field still does not get the focus. |
