Input Fields - NOT Double-Prompted
Note: I'm opening this bug based on the one I opened for Openoffice long ago
(just over 8 years ago in fact) - and it still exists...
This is a strange one...
The issue is, once the bug is triggered, whenever you initiate the prompt for
Input Fields (either using 'CTRL+SHIFT+F9' or when dbl-clicking on a
template),it prompts for all of the fields, then prompts for all of the same
ones *again* - so, it prompts for all of the fields *twice*.
Interestingly, deleting ALL of the Input Fields from both the Header and Footer
results in all of the Fields *still being prompted for*, even though there are
none there, but this time they are only prompted for once.
What I did to reproduce it was:
1. Modify the 'Default' Page Style of the newly created document to contain
Headers and Footers, then place Input Fields into them. Save it.
2. Create a new Page Style based on the 'Default' (which should be the current
selection) by using the 'New Style from Selection' option in 'Styles and
Formatting' > 'Page Styles'.
3. Apply the newly created Style by dbl-clicking it.
4. Initiate the prompt for Input Fields ('CTRL+SHIFT+F9').
5. You should be dbl-prompted for the fields.
NOTE: this bug does *not* trigger (at least it didn't for me) if you create the
Page Styles you want to use and apply them *before* you add the Input Fields to
the Header/Footer.
In other words, it should be reproducible by simply copying the 'Default' page
style to a custom one, then changing the current Page Style to the newly
created
custom one.
I will attach three sample documents (templates are affected the same way), one
that doesn't exhibit the bug (before I changed the Page Styles), one that does
exhibit the bug (*after* I changed the Page Styles), and one that I deleted all
of the Input Fields from *after* the bug was triggered, which still prompts for
all of the Input Fields, but this time only once.
I have not been able to 'fix' a document once the bug is triggered. In fact,
deleting *everything* in a broken document results in *all* of the Input Fields
that were there being prompted for, but only once.
