Description trowelandmattock 2020-05-30 09:59:25 UTC
Description:
1) some extensions seem to to keep crashing and cause a 'restart in safe mode' loop > not sure which exactly: i removed BaseReporter, CADLO, and Japanese Education Tool

2)the restart/crash loop (which eventually resolves and was same in 6.3 really): restart in safe/restart in normal / send-crash-report / restart in safe / restart in normal / send-crash report/recover or discard document / restart in safe / restart in normal ...

3) on finally making into my .odb I find some forms (quite complex) are FUBAR. Some with very similar set up and same macros (open-close/show-hide sections)seem ok - but one (based on same 'macro-template')in particular is so completely f*~@ed up it is almost funny :/

I have no idea why - that form is so broken i dont know where to begin. Will be going straight back to 6.3 (so i can get so work done:) - however as a note: Base on 7.0 did not have this problem (at least on LO.7(dev) from c.1 week ago) - there where some other issues (all fonts on button-names reverts to default:/) - but otherwise the form works fine in 7.0 - and is utterly screwed in 6.4 ...

(will add any info if i come across it, but heading straight back to 6.3 for now)

(Love you Libre!)

Ok - so it may not be 6.4.4.2 exactly...

The problematic forms are fine in edit mode, but glitched in normal view - resizing the window manually with mouse resolves the glitches - can actually see something similar in 6.3 also for those same forms ...

IDK :/...

forms seem to sort themselves out once they have been resized, after which they can be are ratio or full screen no problem > but on first opening new install of Base the window seems to default to a 'non-maximised-but-full-screen-fit', and when this is scrolled multiple glitches appear ..
 [this is scrolling down a form with multiple sections with 'MultiformMacro' to  jump between sections when they are hidden  (currently they are all shown on first opening the form for development purposes)]

Changing the size/position of the open form window (does not seem to matter where/how much)resolves the glitches, which do not reappear when the form is next opened.

A bad explanation i know > in short, is there some kind of initial/default window scaling that causes visual glitches that do not persist after user-defined window scaling is applied ?

pretty sure now that this is related to opening forms (at least my forms with sections) for first time AFTER A NEW INSTALL of 6.3/6.4 LO - after steps above, forms open (and re-open) properly on subsequent LO instances.

This sounds like you should be able to reproduce the problem always in Safe mode. Help - Restart in safe mode and then Continue in safe mode. Is this the case? Regarding what you say in the description, is the problem gone even in Safe mode?

A minimal example file would be nice.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
