Summary: Content of memo fields in MS Access tables get
truncated in LibreOffice Base forms.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.4.2 release
Component: Database
Product: LibreOffice
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new database that refers to some MS Access database. This database
should contain a table with a memo-field, i.e. a column where you can enter
text which can contain much more than 255 characters. There should be entries
containing more than 255 characters. Using the form assistent create a form to
access this table. I simply created a form containing all fields of the table.
Save the form an open it. Navigate to some record whose memo field contains
more than 255 characters.
Current behavior:
The content of the memo field is truncated to about 255 characters. This seems
to depend of the wrap around feature of the control showing the memo field. If
no wrap around is selected the content is truncated to less than 255
characters. Seems to be truncated to 255 characters, and then the CR/LF
sequences are deleted.
Due to the amount of data a memo fields can contain this behavior can cause
substantial loss of data! It is especially dangerous as the form seems to
detect that the content of the control is not the same as the corresponding
content in the table and therefore offers to store the content despite the fact
that the user did not change it.
The table view shows the full content of the memo field. Therefore the problems
seems to be related to the form.
Expected behavior:
The control should show the complete content of the memo field (more than 255
characters).
Platform:
LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 german, Windows 7
