Description Ross Chamberlain 2020-09-01 09:23:55 UTC

Description:
Hello there,
My Libreoffice is in French so I don't know if I'm translating this properly.
I used to create a lot of forms with fillable or dropdown controls for my students.
Since the latest update, I'm having issues with the dropdown boxes. 
I've enclosed a screen shot to illustrate the problem

When I copy and insert a list of words (Asutralia, Canada...) and test the box, all the words are stuck together and on one single line. The box is not usable. 

Have the controls changed? Am I missing something?

Plus, I can no longer skip a line whereas before I could.
this: 
AUSTRALIA
CANADA
DOUBLE DECKER BUS
ENGLAND

now becomes:
AUSTRALIA CANADADOUBLE DECKER BUSENGLAND

As I said, this problem occurred when I updated to the latest version. 

Thank you for your enlightenment!

Actual Results:
Controls, insert dropdown box
add "entrée"  (data?)


Expected Results:
this: 
AUSTRALIA
CANADA
DOUBLE DECKER BUS
ENGLAND

now becomes:
AUSTRALIA CANADADOUBLE DECKER BUSENGLAND


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
0.

Thank you for reporting the bug.

Please try to work in Safe Mode: Help => Restart in Safe Mode. If this works, the problem is related corruption of your user profile and you should reset your Libreoffice profile (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile) and change bug status to RESOLVED NOTABUG.

if this doesn't work

Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. 
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided.

Thank you for responding so quickly Dieter,

I have just found out what "I" was doing wrong. Well, at least I think it was entirely my fault. I did reset my user profile and start up in Safe Mode (I think things are running smoother since)
On previous version, in drop down boxes, I used to be able to press MAJ+ENTER to skip lines. Now, I have to press on the little downwards pointing arrow and THEN i can write multiples choices on each line.
