Bug ID: 150388
Summary: Example db fully obscures users doc db when Choosing
Bibliography Database from Tools menu
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Catastrophic inability to interact with bibliography database on the 1 file I
have attempted to export a db on due to the iwindow either being obscured by
the example demo db, or that when I select Window -> [radio button] My Doc
only the example database is showing, with first entry s ARJ00 by Artymiak, All
attempts to close or workaround fail: choosing File -> Close does close the
window but it's required to see the database and I assume, export it.
The example db is called "Bibliography Database" and can never be closed or
have the real db selected from the pull-down menus. There does not appear to
be any other method to switch the view, or delete the example or see where it
came from. Picking from the menu causes the db window to disappear behind the
main document editing window and clicking the window on my taskbar (cinnamon),
brings it back with the example db opnly. Clicking Choose Data Source only
shows one data source which is selecteed.
If I get desperate maybe I will try hack the db direct.
I guess that would be
/home/tom/.config/libreoffice/4/user/database/biblio.odb
Luckily it is not urgent but having hit 38,000 words 163 pages and
On Linux Mint, two displays 1280x1024 on the left, 1920x1080 on right. Miday in
the video I switch to Mirror Displays.
Version: 6.4.7.2
Build ID: 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.4
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Linux Mint (bleeding edge) Cinnamon, install LibreOffice probably via
regular software manager from distro.Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon
2. Open large 53 MB file 'An Astonishing Encyclopaedia MASTER DOCX.docx'
3. Choose Tools -> Bibliography Database menu
Actual Results:
Bibliography db from my doc: "Bibliography Database" is showing. I can resize
and close it, but never switch from this example that appears to be already
included in LibreOffice I guess. First entry is ARJ00 by Artymiak, Jacek with
title "LibreOffice Calc Functions and Formulas Tips"
Expected Results:
Bibliography db from my doc: "An Astounding Encyclo..." should show. Then I
hope to export it for use in JabRef (java biblatex editor) or other Biblatex
GUI.
