Description Daniel C Scearce 2017-02-11 23:48:03 UTC
Description:
"Document" preview (on lower right) in Base displays Table menu as garbled junk until the window is resized.

I don't recall the first version that this affects but I can confirm that it has been a longstanding eyesore with Base, so I've decided to finally report the bug. (I will attach a photo [which will do much better than words]) This clearly qualifies as a bug, and I did a search to check for duplicates. Unfortunately, I cannot fix it myself as I am a PHP/JS/Node programmer only.

Why I think this merits valuable coding time:

LibreOffice is mature software, this flaw is obvious and doesn't do justice to the software suite. It will go a long way toward making LibreOffice a more formidable and quality software.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Base
2. Create a Table with a nonzero amount of items
3. Have said table selected in main window
4. Select "Document" in lower right dropdown box.

Actual Results:  
"Document" preview (on lower right) in Base displays Table menu as garbled junk until the window is resized.

Expected Results:
Menu should be displayed correctly


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No, this always happens with fresh installs.

Additional Info:
Fresh install, Latest Java runtime is installed on a fresh install of Windows 7.

I fully confirm observations by Daniel, I always experience exactly the same results. 

With only difference that I run Ubuntu previously and Linux Mint 18.1 with LO  5.3.0.3 lately.

My Base install is a front end to MySql, if that matters.

Would be great to see this unpleasant bug gone forever...
