Description Peter Maunder 2019-03-15 17:21:55 UTC

When you use the INSERT SPECIAL CHARACTER menu, a single click displays the character selected, and a second click is needed to insert the character into the writer document. This is not obvious and I think it would be helpful if the menu defined this option.

The online help for Insert Special Characters does not describe this double click function, but it is documented in the excellent LibreOffice 6.0 Writer Guide.
