Description Terrence Enger 2015-05-23 03:44:01 UTC
This is a lot to throw into one bug report.  But if they are different
bugs, they are awfully similar.  Moreover I do not know whether to
split this report, if it should be split, into two or into four
reports.

Throughout the STR, do not type the quotation marks or blanks; I have
put the blanks in just for readablility.


(1   ) Menus dropped down from the menu bar of the Basic editing window
       are blank or invisible.

(1. 1) Start LibreOffice to the Start Center.  Execution of other
       applications first changes the behaviour.  (Well, I thought so
       at one point, but now I cannot reproduce that.)

(1. 2) Type "<Alt>+T".  Observe that the Tools menu has expanded and
       that it show readable options; this is the kind of behaviour
       that want, but we will not always see it later.

(1. 3) Type "M O B".  Program shows dialog "LibreOfficeDev Basic
       Macros"; pane "Macro from" shows "My Macros" > Standard >
       Module1 selected and pane "Existing Macros In: Module1" shows
       Main Selected.

(1. 4) Type "<Alt>+E".  Program shows window "My Macros &
       Dialogs.Standard - LibreOfficeDev Basic".

(1. 5) Type "<Alt>+F".

       Program action expected: To drop down "File" menu, showing
       several options from "New>" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev".

       Observed on Windows: The word "File" in the menubar becomes
       faint and the program drops down a grey background where the
       dropdown menu should be.

       Observed on Linux: The word "File" in the menubar is reverse
       image.

(1. 6) Type "<down-arrow>".

       Expected:  to highlight "New".

       Observed:  no change.

(1. 7) Type "<right-arrow>".

       Expected:  to open a submenu offering file types.

       Observed on Win:  grey background where the submenu is expected.

       Observed on Linux:  no visible change.

(1. 8) Type "<left-arrow>".

       Observed on both platforms: program displays "File" menu,
       showing several options from "New>" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev".

(1. 9) Type "C".  Program closes the Basic editing window and displays
       Start Center.


(2   ) Some dialogs called up from the Basic editing window are blank or
       transparent.

(2. 1) In Start Center, type "<Alt>+H B".  Program displays dialog
       "About LibreOfficeDev" with lots of information in the body of
       the dialog.  This is different from what you will see in this
       dialog later.

(2. 2) Type "<Esc>".  Program closes the About dialog and returns
       focus to the Start Center.

(2. 3) Type "<Alt>+T M O B".  Program shows Dialog "LibreOfficeDev
       Basic Macros".

(2. 3) Type "<Alt>+E".  Program shows window "My Macros &
       Dialogs.Standard - LibreOfficeDev Basic".

(2. 4) Type "<Alt>+H B".

       Program action expected:  like step (2.1).

       Observed: The body of dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" is
       tranparent; the Basic code from editing pane shows through.

(2. 5) Type "<Esc>".  Program closes the dialog and returns focus to
       the Basic editing window.

(2. 6) Type "<Alt>+F C".  Program closes the Basic editing window and
       displays Start Center.


(3   ) Calc and Writer called from the Basic editing window are also
       screwed up.

(3. 3) Type "<Alt>+T M O B".  Program shows Dialog "LibreOfficeDev
       Basic Macros".

(3. 3) Type "<Alt>+E".  Program shows window "My Macros &
       Dialogs.Standard - LibreOfficeDev Basic".

(3. 4) Type "<Alt>+F N S".

       Program action expected: Workbook "Untitled 1" in a new window
       complete with menubar, taskbar, and grid of cells.

       Observed in Win:  The body of the window is white.

       Observed in Linux:  As expected.

(3. 5) In Spreadsheet window type "<Alt>+F".

       Program action expected: To display dropdown menu with several
       options from "New" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev".

       Observed:  No visible change.

(3. 6) Type "C".  Program closes spreadsheet window and returns focus
       to the Basic editing window.

(3. 7) In the Basic editing window, type "<Alt>+F N T".  Program opens
       window "Untitled 1 - LibreOfficeDev Writer" complete with
       menubar, taskbars, status bar, and document area.

(3. 8) In the Writer window, type "<Alt>+H".

       Expected:  Dropdown menu.

       Observed on Win:  The area for the menu is a white background.

       Observed on Linux:  No visible change.

(3. 9) Type "B".

       Expected: Dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" with useful
       information.

       Observed: The body of the dialog is transparent, showing the
       underlying Writer window.

(3.10) Type "<Esc> <Alt>+F C".  Program closes the Writer window and
       returns focus to the Basic editing window.

(3.11) In the Basic editing window type "<Alt>+F C".  Program closes
       the Basic editing window and displays Start Center.


(4   ) However, Calc from the Start Center works better.

(4. 1) In Start Center, type "<Alt>+F N S".  Program displays window
       "Untitled 1 - LibreOfficeDev Calc" complete with menubar,
       toolbars, status bar, and grid of cells.

(4. 2) In Calc window type "<Alt>+H".  Program shows menu with
       readable options.

(4. 3) Type "B".  Program shows dialog "About LibreOfficeDev" with the
       expected useful information.

(4. 4) Type "<Esc>".  Program closes the dialog and returns focus to
       the Calc window.

(4. 5) In Calc window, type "<Alt>+F".  Program shows dropdown menu
       with readable options from "New" to "Exit LibreOfficeDev".

(4. 6) Type "C".  Program closes the Calc Window and displays Start
       Center.

Setting RESOLVED DUP 91484.  As Michael Meeks says in tdf#91487, "the
macro editor basically busts the whole setup".
