Bug ID: 166897
Summary: LibreOffice Base Form Field Backgrounds wildly offset
in Edit View
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
After I upgraded from LibreOffice to 25.2.3.2 (from 7.4.7.2), my BASE Form
Fields display incorrectly in EDITING (DESIGN MODE) view. For example, text
field backgrounds (also memo etc) are offset far to right and down, causing a
distracting overwriting of the text field outlines, including adjacent fields.
This does not appear to affect the usual form when used to view or enter data
into the form, only when modifying the form. I have tried resetting user
profile, both by restart in safe mode, and also by manually renaming my user
profile. The results are the same.
This is my first bug report so please be gentle.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a LibreOffice Base (version 25.2.3.2), create database, create a table
using wizard (eg Tasks)
2.In left panel, choose "Forms"> In upper panel, "Use wizard to create a form"
3.In dialogs, accept most defaults except:
a) choose the table, add all fields to form
b) choose "Columnar" or "Block" field layout (anything except datasheet
arrangement)
c) choose 3D look
b) choose a dark background (e.g. orange) to make display problem stand out
better
c) In naming dialog, choose "modify form" option button instead of work with
form. (However, if you forget and press Finish too soon, simply save the form &
reopen in edit view by right clicking form in lower panel)
d) choose Finish
Form should open in Edit view. If not, open it in Edit view.
Actual Results:
In Edit View (DESIGN MODE) (only), the light colored 3D formatted text fields
backgrounds are distracting offset too far down and to the right of where they
should be (and are normally), overwriting the right & lower parts of text field
outlines and impinging on other text fields. This is highly distracting and I
assume an unintentional bug as they appear normal in the non-Edit view of the
same LO release, and even in the Edit view of version 7.4.7.2 on the same
machine/OS.
Expected Results:
The Form's 3D text fields should have their background color contained within
the outline, even in 3D look, creating a depressed appearance and highlighting
text entry area, same as they are in the actual non-Editing Form view (not
completely offset outside their outlines).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I will try to add an attachment after submission to illustrate what the Edit
view 3D fields looks like.
