GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 465159
No apparent way to to reorder the column heading in the "spreadsheet-like" form of an OOo dbase database.

This is with OOo-dev 2.3.0 (build #223) Linux RPMs on Ubuntu Gutsy (with all the latest updates and with Orca from SVN HEAD). I've been working through the simple OOo database forms tutorial at: http://sheepdogguides.com/fdb/fdb1simpleform.htm I've done everything (working around previous OOo bugs I've filed) down to: "Try re-ordering the column headings: You just drag things to where you want them." The problem is there is no apparent way to do this operation via the keyboard. I will file YAOOoB and block this one against it.
OpenOffice issue #80545 has been filed against this problem. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80545
The OpenOffice issue was been resolved "worksforme" with the following comment: - mark the grid control - press Enter to, well, "enter" the control - press Shift-Space to select the first column's heading - press Ctrl-Right to move the column to the right ---- I have verified that this does indeed work. Don't forget you will also need Control-F5 to get focus into the table area. Closing as NOTABUG.
