Description frank.derville 2021-03-27 17:25:54 UTC
Description:
When editing a form in Base, if user wants to add a Label control, user needs to drag the mouse to draw the box of the label. 
When user only clicks, it seems that a label of the size of the form is created and you can add text to the label which is written at the top left corner of the form. When removing the text, it removes all controls of the form !!!
Expected behavior : create a label with top left corner where the user clicked with a default size (e.g. 1 line height and for instance 20 chars length)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit an existing form
2. Select Label tool
3. Click somewhere on the Form
4. write
5. delete

Actual Results:
Label is not created at the expected place
Then all form controls are removed

Expected Results:
Label created where user clicked


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Have tried this one.
Have opened a form.
Have chosen Form → Label.
Have clicked, not drawn the label control (as the cursor will show).

There is no label control anywhere. You could see where you are writing when setting View → Formatting Marks.

If I will write now some content I write it on the page of the form. The Cursor will be in the left upper corner. All controls are linked to the paragraph of the form. If I delete this paragraph together with the new written "Label content" I will delete all controls, which are anchored to the paragraph. The only possibility to prevent this is to link all controls to the page.

Dear frank.derville,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
