Description Tony 2018-12-21 02:57:29 UTC 
Description:
Rendering of the inserted date field shows only the word "Date" or "Date (fixed)" rather the actual date.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the date field format a few times.
2. Open a document that previously rendered correctly with LibreOffice older than 6.0.0.
3.

Actual Results:
1. Same problematic result.
2. Same problematic rendering.

Expected Results:
Display the proper chosen date format.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
I believe I have OpenGL on my computer.  I am kinda guessing OpenGL is a implemented as a part of the BIOS on this older Windows 7 machine but I can't seem so find information to confirm my hunch on this, much less how to update it.  I know there were rendering issues with LibreOffice in the last couple years on older computers such as mine.  This appears to have been resolved so I am guessing this current issue may not be an OpenGL issue.

Tony,

please have a look a tools => options => LibreOffice Writer => View
Have you disabled or enabled "Display field codes"?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the question is answered or change it to RESOLVED NOTABUG, if this solves your problem.
