Description Andreas Säger 2023-01-17 06:55:39 UTC
Description:
Calc's standard filter dialog displays the existing time values as formatted in the respective column. If you choose any of the values with operator =, the filter result is OK. In the attached song list, there are 4 songs with a lenght of 00:01:58. When you change the operator or when you manually enter some time value, the filter always fails with no resulting records. "Advanced filtering" works well.

The problem affects both forms of the attached database. The form reports an error and the form document needs to be reloaded in order to be usable again. I could reproduce the problem with both types of embedded databases.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open spreadsheet and test the standard filter with some value in the "Duration" column. 
2. Open the database and test filtering by time values in the "Duration" column. 
3.

Actual Results:
1. fails in most cases with no records
2. always fails with no records, error message and unusable form.

Expected Results:
Properly filtered record sets


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Test the form/subform filtering and the built-in filters. Everything works properly unless you filter by time values in "Duration".

Works with a selected time
Fails with entered time or with operator other than =

Can confirm that in the spreadsheet, the standard filter can use an equality condition with "00:01:58" on column E (which contains numeric data formatted as time).

Whereas in the database, the TITLES table has a Duration field of type TIME, formatted by default "HH:MM:SS", but the time range filter in the Filtered Titles form does not work as expected.

After applying a time range filter, it can't be reset and the form shows the error:

The data content could not be loaded. at /home/[...]/connectivity/source/commontools/dbtools.cxx:746
Incorrect type for setString at /home/[...]/connectivity/source/commontools/dbexception.cxx:462

Tested with:

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Comment 4 Alex Thurgood 2023-01-17 09:42:20 UTC
Confirming on macOS with both the spreadsheet and the database form

Version: 7.4.4.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 85569322deea74ec9134968a29af2df5663baa21

Calc: threaded
Comment 5 Alex Thurgood 2023-01-17 09:48:33 UTC
This seems to work correctly in

Version: 7.1.8.1 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e1f30c802c3269a1d052614453f260e49458c82c
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.16; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR
Calc: threaded

Despite not having saved any changes to the database or the form, once that error message is displayed, there seems to be no way of recovering the original behaviour. I systematically get the setString error message (on macOS) on opening even in a different version of LO.
