Re: [libreoffice-users] Is a blunder a bug?

Interesting observation, I'd never noticed. It's not quite true that 
neither can be selected by keystroke. Both can be selected, one at a 
time, by typing A repeatedly, and entering Return invokes the one that 
is currently selected.

I don't know if it's intentional. A bug report might be appropriate, 
or an enhancement request. Or a discussion here about what people 
prefer, one more keystroke or a less obvious shortcut key.
