Description erikhep 2021-09-02 07:08:45 UTC
Description:
Adding a header to a Calc document is not letting me edit the "Left Area header" column.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new Calc document.
2. Go to Format -> Page Style and ensure Header on is selected
3. Click Edit to edit header. Left area header column is greyed out.

Actual Results:
Unable to edit Left area header column.

Expected Results:
Should have been allowed to edit the "Left Area Header"-field.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
If I go via Format -> Page Style and try to uncheck "Same content on left and right pages" and then go to Edit the header; The Left Area header for Right pages are greyed out, but it is OK for Left pages.
This Also Is the same for Footer.

If I go via Insert -> Headers and Footers; then "Left area" for the header is greyed out, but the "Left area" for the footer is editable.

This problem was also in version 7.1.4.

It can be edited on the Footer tab, but whatever you type there is mirrored on the Header tab when you switch back, but on the Footer tab the text can not be edited.

I amend the title "for some users" because I also cannot reproduce in GTK3.
Comment 10 Manfred 2022-05-23 20:09:42 UTC
My problem was solved with 
apt remove libreoffice-gtk3 && apt install libreoffice-qt5 libreoffice-kf5

Siduction offers KDE, LXQt, and Xfce from a Debian base. Is everyone who is seeing this problem running Qt with gtk3?

Dear erikhep,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
