writer form document

I run in a lot of problems with a simple writer form - created in LO 5.1 and opened in 5.3.x.

I attached the form. 

Here a short overview of problems:

- all text input fields are textfields with formating - but try to format a input text: nothing happend. No bold text possible, no change of fonts will accept 
- option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.
- all controll-fields do have a undefined background-colour - not changeble.
  colour is "Tango: himmelblau" with I do not use. 

If I open the form on a customs computer, all controllfields will have backgrund color "greygreen". 

- It is not possible to change the color.. 

When closing control-dialog and open it again - the old color is still present.

- playing around with Textproperties (sidebar) libo will crash 

- when selecting text in a Input box, and try to change font or something else, selection (highligthing) will disappear.

- when store a form, cursor and display will move to the last Input-box. 

So.. what happend to forms?

Doc was original created with 5.0.x or 5.1.x - on Win 10. Now we have only 5.2.x and 5.3.x in process - and a lot of problems.

Hi Thomas

I compared 5.0.6 and 5.2.6 and a recent daily.

confirmed.
In 5.0.6 one can select and hit Ctrl+B. Doesn't work in 5.1.6.
In 5.0.6 and 5.1.6 one can select and use context menu.

> - option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.

Not sure. I see #15, Rücksending gewünst.. in all versions.

White for me in all versions.

Different bug? Please different issue.

> So.. what happend to forms?

Did you look for other bugs reported for forms?
thanks,
Cor

shure?   

I just jecked it on a fresh Installation of LO 5.3.1.2 (64) and with a new Dok.

Color of a Control is "Chartheuse Green" - same as by customers. And you cannot change it - everytime fallback to this color.

See attaches screenshot.

best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

> - option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.


Known bug, fixed in master, but not sure whether backported for 5.3.2






> - It is not possible to change the color.. 

Known bug, not yet fixed in master - linked to implementation of new colour palette management.

Same (or similar) known bug as above.


These bugs are already reported in BZ (but I don't have the refs to hand).

Additional informations Version 5.4.x  on Win 10 (64bit):

Crash when trying to change font or font-size:

Steps to reproduce:

Open document form - add some text in marked textfield ( formated textfield) and afterwards try to change font or font-size. 

It doen´t matter which toolbar you are using... LO crashed - see picture Crash - allert.

btw: it is not a good design to have three undependand toolbars visible with same or equalend functions.....

Dear Thomas Krumbein,

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
