Bug ID: 128070
Summary: In Fields / Variables separator cannot be used due to
zero max width
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0.7.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: tpetri...@gmail.com
Description:
When inserting custom field (Insert, Field, More Fields..., window Fields, tab
Variables), having Level >= 1, the Separator textbox has maximum zero width and
therefore cannot be used. (It is not grayed out.) When trying to insert from
clipboard it says "The inserted text exceeded the maximum length of this text
field. The text was truncated.".
This seems only be true for the new/custom variables, for example, I created
new Number range (Type) called Requirement (Name, or Select), chose Level 1 in
Numbering by Chapter, I cannot put anything into Separator.
If I choose already defined Number range Illustration, the Separator contains
".", has maximum width 1 and can be edited.
I would suggest to remove maximum width constraint for Separator completely and
let the user decide what s/he wants.
Or, at least maximum width 1 should be used for new fields too.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new Number range (Type) called Test (Name).
2. Choose Level 1 in Numbering by Chapter.
3. Try to put anything in Separator.
Actual Results:
You cannot put anything in Separator.
Expected Results:
You can put at least 1 character. Preferably, I would enforce no constraints
and let the user decide how the separator should look like, e.g. letting
her/him use "->".
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
