Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Manually inserted DDE link fails to update when file
is reopened
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.3.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 98548
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=98548&action=edit
Two files: 1.ods and 2.odt. The content is taken from 1.ods and linked to
2.odt.
MANUALLY inserted DDE link fails to update when file is reopened.
What works: Link pasted by "Paste Special" -> "DDE link".
What does not work: DDE link that was inserted manually: "Insert" -> "Fields"
-> "Other" -> "Variables" tab -> DDE field type.
This one works only until you close the file. When you reopen it, the field
shows saved content from previous time and does not update itself on changes
anymore.
If you try to edit the field parameters by double-clicking, it shows: "Not
available" as status.
Latest known-working version: 4.1.5.3
Attached you can find two files. The content is taken from 1.ods and linked to
2.odt. DDE link was modified to work with relative path.
Ways to make it work until file is closed:
- #1: modify the link by retyping all its parameters ("Application", "File",
"Category"). When done the field updates its content and works until you close
the file.
- #2: modify the link, but leave all the parameters as is, without retyping
them, just put the cursor after "Sheet1.A1" in "Category" and hit DELETE on
your keyboard. When done it works as expected until you close the file.
