This bug seems to be the same bug as described for many fields in a form. Could be it will be solved with https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139486 . Download the following attachment: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=168681 Open the report for editing. Mark a field in the report. Try to change position of a field you wish. Set y-position to '2'. The position will be shown in the properties, but the field won't change the position. Click anywhere and then back to the first chosen field. y-position will be set back to the old value. You cant change the position of any field in the report by key. This is a bug, which will make the report-editor in many parts unusable. I can't switch to an old editor of LO 6.4 (where it works) because office.version has been changed from 1.2 to 1.3 and the report will be lost. Tested with LO 7.0.4.2 and also LO 7.1.0.2 and Daily Build 7.2 (2021-01-22) with OpenSUSE 15.2 64bit rpm Linux.
I can't reproduce it in Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 26d23c96d449c201e50df04023d9cbfd59d3d133 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.7; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Could you please try again with a recent master build ?
Have tested it again. Seems it has to be solved with bug 139486. I have set this one to Resolved and Worksforme
