Description Robert Großkopf 2020-12-19 16:07:08 UTC
Created attachment 168333 [details]
Sign between entries should be ";"

Have a look at the attached screenshot.
In the back for the input list of the listbox-entries you see all the entries in one row, with a wrong sign as separator between the entries.

This screenshot is made in VCL: gtk3 . With VCL: kf5 there is no separator shown at all. The whole text is set in one row.

If you open the listbox it will be shown as "First entry";"Second entry"; ... but it is greyed out.

This behavior is new in LO 7.0.4.2. It doesn't appear in LO 6.4.6.2 on OpenSUSE 15.1 64bit rpm Linux.

The idea is that the entry can be used to edit a single line, but if there are multiple lines you have to use the multi-line dropdown editor. That there are odd symbols between the lines in the gtk one suggests there might be symbols lacking in your font. i.e. if you select the below, copy it, launch gedit and ctrl+f to show its find box and ctrl+v into it do those symbols also appear between the lines ?

how it looks for me in libreoffice and gedit
Comment 5 Caolán McNamara 2021-02-23 15:45:56 UTC
what I can do is to change the modification behavior so that during editing of the multiline view the entry contains the text formatted as how it will appear once editing is finished instead of leaving it to the default gtk and vcl behaviors of showing symbols vs stripping newlines.
Comment 6 Robert Großkopf 2021-02-23 16:22:22 UTC
There isn't any special font used for this.
The font you are using, Caolán, would be great to show the right behavior. But it doesn't seem to be a sing, which is part of Liberation Sans or something else, which is used there.
When I leave the input for more than one row it will switch back to the old appearance: "one";"two";"three". So it is irritating the sign between the entries changes.

I couldn't test it any more with gtk3, because i have decided only to work with kf5. Seems many of the design for gtk3 together with my KDE-desktop has been created for screens with higher resolution.

I'll try the above, to not use the default behaviour for newlines in the single-line entry and to use the "final" view that will end up in there. Backport to 7-1 and 7-0 in gerrit
