Description John Fellows 2017-11-26 12:04:55 UTC
Description:
In Base when I click on "Create Report in Design View" absolutely nothing happens. While I can create one using the Wizard.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Highlight Create Report in Design View...
2. Click on Create Report in Design View...
3.

Actual Results:  
When Create Report in Design View... is highlighted with the mouse a Description does show up but, by clicking on Create Report in Design View... the font changes from blue highlighted black font to blue highlighted white font and nothing else happens. I.E. No blank report shows up.

Expected Results:
A blank report should open for editing.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Could not confirm this buggy behavior. Have tested it with LO 5.1.5.2 and also with fresh LO 5.4.3.2 under OpenSUSE 42.2 64bit rpm Linux.

Which Version do you use? The one of the repositories or the one distributed by LO? Did you really install the report-builder?

Set back this bug to unconfirmed if have written down the needed information.

This is a shot saying that the runtime is installed. Is there anything else that I need to do? I am only guessing that the report builder is installed.

Comment 5 John Fellows 2017-11-26 23:10:04 UTC
The software was install from Ubuntu repository.
Comment 6 Xisco Faulí 2017-11-27 10:08:23 UTC
You can't confirm your own bugs. Moving it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone
else confirms it.
Comment 7 Alex Thurgood 2017-11-27 13:27:22 UTC
@John : which report-builder package is installed ?
Comment 8 Alex Thurgood 2017-11-27 13:36:09 UTC
Confirming on :

LO Version 5162
Build ID 1:5.1.6-rc2-0ubuntu1-xenial2
Linux 4.4

on Linux Elementary Loki default installation of LibreOffice from terminal (sudo apt-get install libreoffice).
Comment 9 Alex Thurgood 2017-11-27 13:40:17 UTC
@John : you need to install the package libreoffice-report-builder in addition to the libreoffice-report-builder-bin package.

Unfortunately, the default installation of LibreOffice on Ubuntu doesn't install the required extra libreoffice-report-builder package. Once this is installed, you should be able to click on the Report Design button and it will start (I have just tried this).

As this problem is a packaging problem linked to the distribution, this is not a LibreOffice bug.

Closing as NOTOURBUG.
