Created attachment 203206 [details] bug doc This is a tracking bug for a bunch of issues around editing and formatting of writer input fields. Specifically, this is similar to bug#94404 where jwz says: I want to add an ISO date (2025-04-25 for example) in an input field, and keep the entire date on the same line. With a bit of effort I can enter non-breaking hyphens in the input field, but Writer then breaks the text at the hyphens anyway. However, in order to get there, we first need to get some other bugs out of the way. For the initial issue - you will need a debug build. - open the attached document - right click on the input field - select "Edit Fields" - select a different format - click OK and we will crash an assert.
