Description Josef Zwanziger 2020-01-15 14:25:48 UTC
Description:
When saving a document, the text box to enter a file name fills itself with an ongoing string of characters. The appearance is similar to what might happen if a key was held down on the keyboard and was constantly transmitting key strokes. If a file already exists, things work ok--that is, I can click on the existing file name, and it will be over-written properly. It's only the text box for keyboard input that seems to be problematic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice calc and open a "new file".
2. type some numbers in some cells.
3. select "Save As" and try to enter a file name in the text box.

Actual Results:
Text box fills itself with random characters, flickering at the end of the string as if it's getting endless input from somewhere.

Expected Results:
No text until I type at the keyboard, and then the text box reflects only the keys I type.


Reproducible: Always

6.0.7 is EOL, could you give a try to last stable LO version 6.3.4?
