Bug ID: 89047
Summary: Read-Only ComboBox doesn't allow selection in PDF
export
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.3 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Printing and PDF export
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bz...@florian-schmitt.net
Setting a ComboBox in a LO Writer form to Read-Only (right-click -> "Control"
-> "General" -> "Read-Only": "Yes") doesn't work when exporting the Form to
PDF. Instead of restricting the selection to the ComboBox entries, it prevents
selecting any entry completely.
Expected Behaviour:
-------------------
According to the docs, setting a ComboBox in a Writer Form to "Read-Only" (as
described above) prevents the user from entering arbitrary content into the
combobox, restricting her to the pre-defined values. This works fine when using
the form inside LO Writer. I expected this to work also when exporting the LO
Writer document to PDF, generating a PDF Form.
Current behaviour:
------------------
Instead of restricting the user to the pre-defined combobox values, he/she
can't select _any_ value from the combobox if that control was set "Read-only"
in Writer.
How to reproduce:
-----------------
1. Create a new odt file;
2. Insert a ComboBox;
3. Set the combobox read-only (either using the "Control" button in the toolbar
or by selecting "Control" from the context menu).
4. Enter some list entries;
5. Set a default list entry;
6. Optionally, add a Text Box to verify if the form is editable;
7. Disable design mode to check the form functionality:
- entering arbitrary content in the text box works;
- selecting a combobox entry works;
- entering arbitrary content in the combobox doesn't work (this is ok, since
it's read-only),
8. Export the form as PDF (with PDF form generation enabled and PDF 1/A
disabled);
9. Open the resulting PDF and check functionality:
- entering arbitrary content in the text field works;
- selecting a combobox entry doesn't work (!);
- entering arbitrary content in the combobox doesn't work, too.
