Description Florian Ebnet 2013-08-01 09:44:21 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create checkbox. Do not assign a Label.
2. Leave design mode.
3. Click checkbox.

Current behavior:
No state change.

Expected behavior:
State change.

Additional oddity: After exporting the same document as PDF form and opening it in Acrobat the checkbox works as expected even without a label.

Should this be the intended behaviour then the form controls documentation needs to reflect this!
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.0.3 rc

This one works for me:

Bodhi Linux
LibreOffice version 4.0.4

Attached: simple document with checkbox with no label/name - you can check it


Marking as WFM - if you can't click the checkbox on the attached document please set to UNCONFIRMED. If you have a different attachment that you can provide that shows that we cannot click the check box please attach and mark as UNCONFIRMED.

Thanks!

Weird, now I cannot reproduce the issue even by removing the labels in the affected document. Your test case works perfectly fine as well. For whatever reason there must have been a glitch in the affected file that went away by adding the labels once. Adding and editing additional checkboxes has not triggered the issue again.

It was there, and not just for me but for another user on the same document, but we both cannot reproduce it. I am going to leave the bug on WFM; If I ever come across that glitch again I will attach the affected file.

My colleague managed to find a backup of the affected file; I will attach a redacted version with just the affected checkboxes.

Comment 6 Joel Madero 2013-08-01 19:38:23 UTC 
I think it's something to do with the table inside of the document not with the labeling - it would be really nice to get reproducible steps for a fresh document but I can confirm the behavior here so...


New (confirmed)
Normal - could theoretically prevent professional work
Lowest - as of now we have one test case and no way to reproduce from scratch - with Florian saying he is also unable to create from scratch I'm leaving this as lowest. If we can get steps that reproduce the problem from a blank state then we can up this to low or medium.


Thanks Florian for test case.
