Description Tobias Burnus 2016-06-14 15:43:56 UTC
There is an XLSX form import bug for list controls, where the value instead of the position is used.


To reproduce:

1. Open the Excel form from http://www.sailing.org/tools/documents/FirstRaceTCFCalculationofWSEHafterIRCvalidation-[20842].xlsx

2. Choose View > Toolbars -> Form Controls - and ensure that the second button in upper row ("OK", Toggle Design Mode) is *not* set.

[Side note: It is not very intuitive to get into this mode; with Excel, one is by default in this mode - and a right click can nonetheless be used to modify the form control.]

3. Choose a value from the lists on the left.

EXPECTED: The values in column "L" change to 1...5 and a value shows up in the red box.

ACTUAL: The L column contains "1 = ..." values and the red box remains unchanged.


SOLUTION (as a user, it should happen automatically): Go into the Design Mode (toggle the Form Control "OK" button), click on each list box widget and then:

a) Right click and choose Control
b) In the "Properties: List Box" window, go to the "Data" tab
c) Choose in "Content of the linked cell:" the value "Position of the selected entry". The value when imported was "The selected entry".

Dear Tobias Burnus,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
