Type text in the combobox of "Form_tablecontrol" - event 'modifyed' will never happen.

Open the attached database. Macros must be allowed. 
There are two forms. Both are connected to the same table. "Form" is created with standalone-fields, "Form_tablecontrol" is created with a tablecontrol and the fields inside the tablecontrol.
In both forms the event "Text modified" of the field "Hobby" is linked to a macro, which should only show a message 'Event happened'. The field "Hobby" is created as a combobox.
Open "Form_tablecontrol". Write something in the column "Hobby". No event happens.
Open "Form". Write something in the field "Hobby". With every changed character the event happens.

Expected behavior: Event "Text modified" should happen when modifying the content of the combobox. Works as expected in a normal form. Doesn't work in a tablecontrol.

Bug appears also in the first available LO-version (LO 3.3.0.4, OpenSUSE 42.1 64bit rpm Linux). So I set this bug as "Inherited From OOo".

Robert: how did you assign macro in tablecontrol form?

I found the way for not tablecontrol one but I don't know how to select one of the field of the tablecontrol.

Open the form for editing.
Right mouse click on the column-header of "Hobby".
Go to "Column ..."
Now you can change the events of the column "Hobby".

bt with debug symbols

Thank you Robert for your feedback, I could find the option.

I attached bt corresponding at the moment LO displays the popup with non tablecontrol form.
Thought it may help to compare situation with tablecontrol form.
Comment 14 Julien Nabet 2019-09-29 19:20:14 UTC 
In OK case, we got here:
    277     if ( maTextListeners.getLength() )
    278         maTextListeners.textChanged( e );
    279 }
see https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/toolkit/source/controls/unocontrols.cxx?r=bb16f659#278

not in KO case.
Indeed, maTextListeners is empty with KO case.

In OK case, maTextListeners is filled with 4 calls to 
    281 void UnoEditControl::addTextListener(const uno::Reference< awt::XTextListener > & l)
    282 {
    283     maTextListeners.addInterface( l );
    284 }

Comment 15 Julien Nabet 2019-09-29 19:53:24 UTC 
Not clear for me all this mechanism of events and attachments works.
Depending on the form we open, it seems we got completely different objects to handle.

Bug still happens with LO 7.4.2.1 on OpenSUSE 15.3 64bit rpm Linux.

Seems there are more events, which won't appear in a tablecontrol here.
