I need to be specific on this, so please bear with me. You may well decide it
isn't a bug. This is what I found.
If libreoffice-gtk2 and libreoffice-gtk3 are not installed, the version I
normally use shows as:
Version: 5.4.2.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1~lo1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: x11;
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group
With complex databases using a mysql/mariadb back end I cannot enter any data,
even into tables (not just on forms). However, with simple built-in (HSQLDB)
databases it works.
I installed libreoffice-gtk3:
Version: 5.4.2.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1~lo1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group
and it now all works.
I run the same version, with libreoffice-gtk3 still installed, but using
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice:
Version: 5.4.2.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1~lo1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: x11;
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group
And it still works. Puzzling.
If I run 6.0.0.0 with or without SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen it also works. I don't
have the option to remove libreoffice-gtk3 completely from this version so
can't compare with 5.4.2.2.
The moral of this seems to be that I have to have libreoffice-gtk3 (or gtk2,
but I haven't tested that) installed to use Base as a front end to
Mysql/mariadb, and live with bug #112590 until it's fixed.
More of 'a feature' than a bug I guess.
