Description swt 2019-01-08 16:49:45 UTC
Description:
When using drop-down windows (for example, AutoFilter or Data Validation lists), after clicking the down arrow and moving the mouse, the drop-down window disappears.  This makes it extremely difficult to make a selection in the drop-down window without using the keyboard.  I see the same behavior on two systems, but not on a 3rd.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on AutoFilter
2. Click on down arrow for column
3. Move mouse

Actual Results:
AutoFilter selection window disappears

Expected Results:
AutoFilter selection window doesn't disappear and allows you to make a selection.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thanks for checking.  I suspect this is probably a Linux-only problem.  The other system I can reproduce this on is running Fedora 29:
Version: 6.1.2.1
Build ID: 6.1.2.1-4.fc29
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

I can't reproduce it in


Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: b8f497a06d585dbae3adadb4d177fe84fdb1b5fa
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present

Comment 5 swt 2019-02-19 16:47:29 UTC
I created a new system user on my system and I can still reproduce the problem with the new user, so I don't think this has anything to do with profiles.

Some other differences between the systems where I can reproduce and where I cannot:

Reproducible systems: ATI graphics and HiDPI displays
Non-reproducible systems: Intel graphics and non-HiDPI displays

Anything I can do to help debug this problem further, let me know.  It makes auto-filtering unusable for me.  :(

Alright, you can try launching from the command line with these different variables:

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk libreoffice
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice

Any difference?

SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk libreoffice -> Problem Reproducible
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice -> Problem NOT Reproducible
