a doc with checkboxes

Problem description: 
While editing a PDF under 3.6.5, I used to change some check boxes. They are no more visible with this new release whereas they are visible viewing the doc with PDF acrobat reader

Steps to reproduce:
1. ....open doc with drawing tool. 

Current behavior: no checkboxes

Expected behavior: checkboxes appear

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.0.2 rc
Last worked in: 3.6.5.2 release
Comment 1 Jorendc 2013-02-24 15:42:08 UTC
I can confirm this behavior using your attached pdf; tested with Linux Mint 14 x64 and Libreoffice 4.0.1.1 rc and Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 3eaa536ae457391c3826be50b0361f8d0c13cdd).
Why did you mark that one as obsolete?

Kind regards,
Joren

My bad, I clicked the wrong option. Issue is still current for sure and the doc accurate.

a doc with checkboxes

Reproducible with LibreOffice 4.2.5 and 4.3.0 on Debian.

I can't find a version in the bibisect 43all repository which correctly imports the checkboxes. (3.6.5.2 release on OSX also doesn't show them)

If this has ever worked it's somehow only done so on Windows.

Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2016-05-10 09:17:05 UTC
Still valid (5.2 alpha). The checkboxes are there as shapes but with line style 'none', meaning hidden. No idea where the check mark has gone. 

Could be related to 63834.
Comment 7 vvort 2016-06-21 05:47:07 UTC
Checkboxes are not the shapes.
They are characters of embedded Wingdings font.
This is definitely the same problem as Bug 63834.
But I don't know which of this reports should be closed.

After loading the PDF in Draw it is possible to select the objects that are shown as checkboxes. While PDF readers show it as wingdings chars I can set the line style from None to Continuous and see eventually the rectangular shape. It's the same for bullets where also white shapes are inserted as placeholders, or for whatever reason.
Comment 9 vvort 2016-06-26 10:45:59 UTC
What you see is just a space characters, scattered around the document.
They are not related to checkboxes.

I am closing Bug 63834 as duplicate, because this bug was submitted earlier.

Issue still reproducible with version 3.3 so, as mentionned it appears to be 'inherited from OOo'. Version changed consequently.
HTH, regards
