Bug ID: 168197
Summary: LibreOffice Base Form with subform date dropdown
(default 14th Feb 2019)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.0.4 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have a database which uses a form with subform in which a date can be
entered.
The form contains a date field in the main form with a dropdown. Clicking this
shows a calendar centred on today’s date (fine - as it should be).
The form also contains a subform with another date field. This also has a
dropdown box for it’s date (edit form, right click date field, select column
from list, select dropdown yes).
In the subform the date always seems to be centred on 14th Feb 2019 rather than
today’s date. This is inconvenient as I usually want to enter a date close to
today’s date.
I raised a topic about this:-
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-base-form-with-subform-date-dropdown-default-14th-feb-2019/125954
Applies to LibreOffice base Version: 25.8.0.4 (X86_64) and earlier versions.
applies to both HSQLDB and firebird, both embedded and external databases.
Running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.
also applies to openSUSE GNOME environment (openSUSE KDE is fine).
Has been suggested that it would be a bug with LibreOffice VCL gtk3.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a database with 2 tables with at least 1 date field
2. Create a form using 2nd table as subform of first table
3. Change date field of subform to "drop down"
4. When clicking the dropdown in the date field of the subform a calendar opens
centred around 14th Feb 2019 rather than today's date.
Actual Results:
dropdown in subform is centred on 14th Feb 2019
Expected Results:
dropdown in subform should be centred on current date
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
