The same thing happens when you make or modify a report in Base. When I try to add a toolbar, it immediately disappears when I change the size of the window, or when I try to add a second toolbar. That's all I can say about this slight problem. I hope you can reproduce it. I am not very good at this, but I wanted to let you know about this minor bug. Kind regards, Marco.

As the bug was not observed in libreoffice 3.3.2 upstream builds, but was observed in OpenSUSE and Ubuntu vendor builds and is being observed in the current 3.4, this is most likely one of the integrated patches from libreoffice/build. Any hints on likely candidates for triage?

I'm joining this bugzilla, because I reported this bug to Novells Bugzilla für LibreOffice (#686354), but nothing happened yet. Maybe my observations (using opensuse 11.x) will help you to find the bug: I first encountered this fault last autumn in the 3.3rc-Versions of OpenOffice; later in the 3.3rc of LibreOffice and all final Versions since then. Note that I always got Open/LibreOffice from the opensuse-buildservice. All corresponding native packages of Open/LibreOffices didn't show this effect, as you mentioned. So I assumed, it was a opensuse/Novell thing. For some weeks I noticed several reports of this issue in usenet by users with brand-new e.g. ubuntu-linux, so this seems to be not opensuse-only. It is slightly horrifying news, that this came into the pure LibreOffice code, because this will make work with databases completely impossible! (Currently I'm using opensuse-builds, because they have a better KDE- Integration. For databases only I have native version installed additionally.) Besides this, there is another problem with *existing* forms: control dialogs of form elements do not appear called by context menu. So after solving this bug, that would be the next problem.

My money is on this being a Heisenbug. it seems to be too coincidental to see this same effect[*], are you positive that you saw this on 3.4 branch ? Anyway, keep an eye out [*] ALL toolbars gone Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df- libreoffice/+bug/709778/comments/69 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-05-28T21:22:42+00:00 Ferry Toth wrote: The above discussion sounds like the problem is difficult to reproduce. In fact it is simple and quick and exactly as Björns comment 14. On Ubuntu Natty (i32 and amd64) LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202) tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 the result is exactly the same: When opening a form to enter data there are no navigation bars, no tool bars and no status bar. You can only add a record by clicking on the last field and pressing enter. You can manually add the navigation bar, but it will disappear after close/reopen the form. You can not add the status bar. And if you try to add the formating toolbar the navigation bar will disappear. When editing a form there are no Form Design and Form Control toolbars. Also you cannot click a control to get to these tools, so you can not change your form at all, other then drag the control around a bit. I think more needs to be done then 'keep an eye out'. I just downloaded 3.3.2 Final (22-03-2011) (the deb version) from the LO web site, installed on a Maverick VM with OO wiped off. LO is same build OOO330m19 (Build:202). Guess what, here Data entry and Forms Editing work fine. This suggests a packaging problem in Ubuntu. So then upgraded to LibreOffice 3.4 RC2 (2011-05-27) LibreOffice 3.4.0 OOO340m1 (Build:12) Also NO problems here (with forms). So it actually does seem to be a packaging problem. But then one then occurs on multiple distributions - not just Ubuntu. Now what. None of the user with Natty installed is currently able to do any useful database work. We need a fix in Natty and quick too.

If you look at the launchpad bug some people have can produce the issue on one machine but cannot on another with the same version. Also this is not a "packaging problem in Ubuntu" -- it was most likely introduced by the go-oo patches that were applied as a de-fact standard by almost all distributions including SUSE, Debian, Ubuntu for the 3.3 branch. Those are some 500 patches which is why I asked about some hints which ones could be the problematic ones. On 3.4 these patches have been included in all versions including those directly available from the libreoffice website -- they are not patches anymore. As this could not be reproduced in the recent 3.4.0 rcs, we however still need to keep an eye out for it to pop up again as it might just be a Heisenbug that is hiding.

Or solely a Ubuntu problem, as I am well aware that it happens at least on Debian too. I am glad you located the offending patch. Does it explain why "some people can produce the issue on one machine but cannot on another with the same version"? If I could have found a machine that didn't have the problem I wouldn't have been that desperate. I tried new installs, older upgrades, i32 and amd64, VM. All the same. I think some confuse the form showing 'read only' with 'cannot enter data in the form'. Will the 'rebuild' show up in the PPA? I can't wait to try it.
