list box contents continually overwrite as new selections from the list are made. After a few changes in contents the value displayed is no longer legible.
Hello George, *, would you be so kind to explain it a little bit more? Could you elaborate it with a step by step instruction and maybe an example document and/or screenshots, please? Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas.
Thomas, Thanks for your response. I'm including an attachment which illustrates the problem. "New Database.odb". If you open the file "New Database" and select "Forms" on the left side of the screen, and right click on the "Customer Screen" form to open it. You will see a simple form I set up for this example. In the center top of the form you should see a combo-box next to the word "Tier". If you select an item from the list it will appear in the blank box above the list. If you then select another item from the list it will be written over the first entry in the box. In other words, BOTH entries show up on top of each other and therefore the entry becomes unintelligible. I originally created this file in NeoOffice if that helps you in discovering the solution. Can you let me know when/if you receive this email and the attachment? Thanks, and good luck.

Created attachment 62935 [details] New Database.odb There is no attachment "New Database.odb". Reading your description I think its the normal bahaviour of a combobox: changing the entry must overwrite the field. Could you please add an attachment, which shows the behaviour and what should be wrong? Robert
Robert, Thanks for the response. I'm attaching the file: "New Database.odb" which shows the problem. Open the file and select the Customer screen in the Forms section. Then, in the form, select a Tier from the dropdown list. You'll notice that the number writes ON TOP OF the previous entry. I checked the Sent Box in my email and I DID attach the file to my initial message. Don't know why you didn't get it!! Here it is again.. Thanks, George
Created attachment 62982 [details] screenshot2.tiff Hello George, I opened the attached "New Database.odb". First: There is no list box, but a combo-box. In a combobox you can enter new values. Second: Could be I do not understand what you mean: I change the item with the mouse. The changed value appears in the box. Go forward and back to the same row. The changed value has been saved to the table. Chould change it very often - there is only the one item I had choosen in the box above. This is the normal behaviour of a combo-box. I have tested it under Linux-rpm32 with LO 3.3.4 and LO 3.5.4, not under Mac with 3.4.4 as you reported the bug. A little hint for crating attachments. Your "New Database.odb" has about 1.43 MB. When I rund at Extras → SQL the command "SHUTDOWN COMPACT" it has 13.2 KB. Thee ara much data inside which are not used. Robert
Robert, Thanks again for your quick response. Sorry, I mis-characterized the combo-box. Just to be clear - if you select a number from the drop down list under the title "tier" that number will appear in the field above. But if you then select another from the list it will not replace the first number but will be written on top of the first number. I will send you two screenshots of the result after selecting several numbers from the list. Notice "screenshot2" which is a ZOOMED version of the first. It appears that there are several overlapping boxes! Maybe this has something to do with my problem! But from your results, it seems my problem MUST be with LO version 3.4.4 when used on a Mac OSX 10.5.8. If you ever have a chance to test my version of LO with a Mac using the database I sent you, I bet the problem will show up! Also, to be honest, I have no idea why the .odb file is so large. As you can see there is not much data in it! Here's the screenshots: Thanks for any additional help you can provide. George

I see your problem. Seems to be a problem of LibO 3.4.4 with Mac. Isn't there a newer version of LibO for Mac? I have switched the status to new. Again for the big *.odb-file: HSQLDB saves old content in the database. Could be you have deleted much rows but the file is bigger than before. You have only to run the command "SHUTDWN COMPACT" in the SQL-mode. The old data, which you can not see, would be deleted. Robert
Robert, I'm glad you were able to see the problem. Regarding the BIG .odb file - you are right! It started as a large file that I deleted columns and rows from. I never expected that the data deleted or the space allocated would still be in the file! Thanks for the info. I will use the command you suggested to clean it up.

Hi Geroge, I will test this later on my Mac, but you should try updating to a newer version and see if your problem still persists, and report back here. There were are few known visual defects in the 3.4 series, maybe this was an extra one that went unnoticed for a while. It would be good to have a test on one of the latest versions of LO. Alex
(In reply to comment #10) > Hi Geroge, Sigh, sorry George, mistyped your name Alex
Alex, I took your suggestion and downloaded & installed LibreOffice 3.5 for the Mac and I have the same problem with the combo box. Just FYI.

(In reply to comment #10) > I will test this later on my Mac, @alex: could you please come back to this and try on your mac? It would be nice to have independent confirmation of this. Also with 4.0/4.1 since they came out by now. If this bug is still present, we should farm it out to a MacOS expert.
Confirming on master 4.3 Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 963fb6a84f1366028b185519144ce18e61d630c0 Alex
Bug also present in Version 4.0.3.3 (Build ID: 0eaa50a932c8f2199a615e1eb30f7ac74279539)
Note that even without trying to click on values from the list, the control itself looks weird on the form. In Design view, the uppermost part of the control is shown as having a coloured background which is the same as the form background colour. However, in Data entry mode, i.e. in normal use mode, that same uppermost part of the control is shown half white/ half-coloured, with a clear horizontal separation of colour across this upper part (where data can in theory be entered manually). I tested with different fonts on OSX in case it might have been a font problem, but my testing showed no difference in the results. Alex
Thorsten? You are our MacOS X "FindTheExpert" from the wiki. This is a MacOS-specific bug :)
Note that the problem does not exist in NeoOffice 3.4 patch 0 which displays the combo list values entered correctly. Alex
The bug is also present in : AOO400m3(Build:9702) - Rev. 1503704 2013-07-16 14:51:10 (Tue, 16 Jul 2013) Alex
Tested also on : LibreOffice 3.3.4 OOO330m19 (Build:401) tag libreoffice-3.3.4.1 where the bug also shows itself. Setting version release to reflect that. Alex
Confirming this behaviour with Mac OSX 10.6.8 with LO Version 4.0.6.2 and also AOO 400m3. When I re-size the form window, a strange multiple overlapping pattern appears in the data-edit area at the top the combo box (see attachment). Looks like some sort of screen rendering bug. When the DROPDOWN control in the combo box properties is set to YES, there is no problem because the data-edit area is hidden.

On 4322, OSX 10.10, one can see part of the main toolbar drawn in the background of the control (spellcheck buttons)
