database to demo form table control field copy
Bug 54021 addresses moving a base form's table-control field.
Until that's fixed, and it's been 5 years, there's a workaround which allows
copying a base form's table-control field. The idea is that copy + delete =
move.
With the workaround the mouse drag does copy, not move. Copy works, but
barely.
This bug: The copy done is a shallow copy and doesn't copy the field as it is,
but rather copies it as it was originally created, or as it might be created if
newly created. For example it doesn't copy any new name, label, SQL, or object
type.
Steps to reproduce:
* Open the attached database with LO 6.
* Edit the form named 'Table1'. (Tip: the procedure in 54021 comment 34 is
very similar to this one and probably should be reviewed before this
procedure.)
* Do the workaround described in 54021 comment 33, (right click on a field
header, then cancel the shortcut menu).
* Use the left mouse button to drag a field right (or left). The mouse pointer
shows a "+" (for copy).
Expected result: the new field created should be identical to the field copied.
Actual result: When you release the mouse button a new field is inserted which
is a partial copy of the field you dragged. But this new copy is not identical
to the field that was dragged to copy it. It is more like a freshly created
field, like if it were appended. For example if it had been previously changed
into a combo box those changes are disregarded. Also properties like the
width, name, label, etc are disregarded.
Tested on LO 6 on linux Debian 9.3.
