Description Harald Koester 2012-04-03 03:43:15 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
[1] Open a new text document.
[2] Set option "LibreOffice Writer > View > Display > Drawings and controls", if not set already.
[3] Insert a drawing, e. g. a rectangle.
[4] Insert a form control, e. g. a check box.
[5] Reset option "LibreOffice Writer > View > Display > Drawings and controls". Drawing and form control are still visible.

Expected behaviour: No display of drawing and form control, if option is reset.

Also observed in V. 3.4.6

Comment 2 sasha.libreoffice 2012-06-29 03:47:33 UTC
Thanks for bugreport
reproduced in 3.3.4, 3.5.4, 3.6.beta1 on Fedora 64 bit
(Windows not tested, it tested by author of this bug)

Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproduced
Comment 3 Harald Koester 2013-10-12 15:53:00 UTC
Bug still exists in Version 4.1.2.3.

Comment 5 Harald Koester 2015-04-17 21:44:41 UTC
Bug still exists in version 4.4.1 with Win7.

Meanwhile I doubt if there are real use cases where it is necessary to hide drawings and controls from display. I did not found a single bug report where a user complaints that this option does not work. Hence to my opinion it should be taken into account to remove this option.

Dear Harald Koester,

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
