Description nelson 2013-11-05 17:24:32 UTC
Problem description:

When using a form (created with the wizard) to enter data, the keyboard short cutshown,(ctrl alt right) to move to the next record rotates the form by 90 degrees instead      
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.2.3 release
Comment 1 Robert Großkopf 2013-11-08 16:54:37 UTC
No problem here with openSUSE 12.3 64bit rpm-Linux. So I can't confirm.
Did you define such a shortcut for rotating anywhere else in Windows?

Comment 3 nelson 2013-11-09 20:07:29 UTC
No, have not defined it as a keyboard function  elsewhere - but I am 
using a laptop with touchpad  in win7 64bit which allows a picture 
rotate by finger motions on the pad  could this be the cause?
My apology for double reporting - i'm new to the system!

But thanks for the info about the strange number of records behaviour- I 
understand the use now

No problem - I have closed the other report.
Could it be your laptop works with this shortcut? Which laptop do you use?

Should we close the other bug-report or should we change it to a wish for an enhancement?

Yet another update - it IS a function of my laptop.
If I open any small window - such as a file list - the ctrl alt right  
combination rotates it- so there is something grabbing the screen before 
Libreoffice does!

Will investigate and report further

So could we close this Bug (and Bug71509) as Notourbug?
Comment 7 nelson 2013-11-12 19:20:34 UTC
Yes I think you could - thanks for the prompt help though!

Further investigation by me shows that ctrl+alt+ a cursor key rotates 
the entire screen between portrait and landscape modes - useful if 
viewing an A4 document for instance, with the laptop on its side. My 
daughter has a similar facility on her lenovo she now tells me!

UNFORTUNATELY this is not mentioned in any of the documentation with the 
ASUS.....I have sent them an email asking how i can disable this 
feature, but if I get no joy I guess I need to put in a user defined key 
combination in my Libreoffice - so making it nonstandard if I pass 
anything on.  HoHum

I am a lot happier using the Libreoffice DB than using Access - it gives 
me help wizards for bits I need, but am unhappy with at first, and which 
I can then deal with properly later when I have a bit more experience. 
The import from a spreadsheet to a table with headings is a joy. I have 
several databases in an old (win3.1) program to convert via csv.   And, 
as  (very) retired computer science lecturer, I can see how I could have 
used it with novice students, both with Win and Linux

So I close this Bug and Bug71509.
If you have more problems with Base you could also send me a mail directly and we could see, if we could solve it.

Comment 9 nelson 2013-11-13 15:52:25 UTC
/I have now identified the problem/
the Intel HD 3000 graphics driver commonly  used in laptops has the 
ctrl+alt+cursor key combination to effectively specify which edge of the 
screen is top!  I googled rotation problems to find this - asus still 
have not come back

One can get into the driver media control with Ctrl+alt + f12, and 
disable the hot keys.... I have done this and Libreoffice now works 
perfectly. /*If */I ever need to rotate my screen I can re-enable, but I 
wonder if a change of tack on the control codes for "next record" in 
Libreoffice might be considered down the line - I gather almost all 
laptops and win7 machines do have this graphics option built in as 
default.. shift or ctrl  + enter is what I have met with my old 
databases, which is intuitive

Thanks again for the help - even though i was not your fault
