Checkboxes disappear in LibreOffice Writer

Bug in LibreOffice Writer – Checkboxes disappear in LibreOffice Writer

After migration from OpenOffice.org 3.2 to LibreOffice 3.6.2.2 we have a problem with disappearing checkboxes in LibreOffice Writer. We do not have this problem in OpenOffice.org Writer.

In tests with LibreOffice version 3.6.3, 3.6.4(RC1), 3.6.5 (dev) and in beta version 4.0.0.0 this problem still exists. See also the included document “Engels.odt”.

Reproducible for attachment.
If form design mode is on, do not disappear.

Win7x64 Ultimate
LibreOffice Version 3.6.4.3 (Build ID: 2ef5aff)
LODev Version 4.0.0.0.beta1+ (Build ID: 465d3512cca457c79e6ef85ad1cbf6bcc88e888)

Not reproducible with:
LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b

But creating a new file and inserting a checkbox this does not happen.

Checkbox disappears when selected, if a 'Page Count'-field is inserted and design mode is off.

Bug in LibreOffice Writer version 3.6 and above (also Version 4.0.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 677a3f):
A checkbox disappears when selected, if a 'Page Count'-field is inserted and design mode is off.

Number of pages: [1] (='Page Count'-field)

Checkbox disappears when selected if a 'Page Count'-field is inserted and the design mode is off:
[ ] Check Box


- When design mode is on the 'Check Box' (above) does not disappear.
- When design mode is off the 'Check Box' disappears when you select the 'Check Box'.
- When the 'Check Box' is disappeared and you click on the 'Page Count'-field the 'Check Box'-field is briefly displayed (and disappears again).
- When the 'Page Count'-field is deleted the checkbox does not disappears, even if the design mode is on or off.

See test with document "CheckboxesDisappear.odt" in attachtment.

Comment 5 Eric Van Den Berghe 2013-03-08 12:07:39 UTC
This bug still exist in LibreOffice Writer version 4.0.1.2 .1.2 (Bouw-id: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985)

Is it possible to fix this bug in the next release of LibreOffice?
Comment 6 Pascal Becker 2013-03-20 12:14:00 UTC
I also have this problem in Version 4.0.1.2.
The checkboxes change from visible to invisible and back randomly when the mouse is moved or when scrolling the document.

Seems the checkboxes only disapear when design mode is off. With design mode on, everything works fine.

Comment 9 Klaus R. 2013-07-07 05:36:44 UTC
UBUNTU 12.04 LibreOffice 4.0.4.2

The checkboxes change from visible to invisible and back randomly
in normal view, not in design mode or webview!

Would be great to get this solved soon.

A little workaround to get some fillable forms in LibreOffice (not in pdf-form):

Use textfield with maxchar = 1 and password sign = X
