writer form document

I run in a lot of problems with a simple writer form - created in LO 5.1 and opened in 5.3.x.

I attached the form. 

Here a short overview of problems:

- all text input fields are textfields with formating - but try to format a input text: nothing happend. No bold text possible, no change of fonts will accept 
- option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.
- all controll-fields do have a undefined background-colour - not changeble.
  colour is "Tango: himmelblau" with I do not use. 

If I open the form on a customs computer, all controllfields will have backgrund color "greygreen". 

- It is not possible to change the color.. 

When closing control-dialog and open it again - the old color is still present.

- playing around with Textproperties (sidebar) libo will crash 

- when selecting text in a Input box, and try to change font or something else, selection (highligthing) will disappear.

- when store a form, cursor and display will move to the last Input-box. 

So.. what happend to forms?

Doc was original created with 5.0.x or 5.1.x - on Win 10. Now we have only 5.2.x and 5.3.x in process - and a lot of problems.

Hi Thomas

I compared 5.0.6 and 5.2.6 and a recent daily.

confirmed.
In 5.0.6 one can select and hit Ctrl+B. Doesn't work in 5.1.6.
In 5.0.6 and 5.1.6 one can select and use context menu.

> - option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.

Not sure. I see #15, Rücksending gewünst.. in all versions.

White for me in all versions.

Different bug? Please different issue.

> So.. what happend to forms?

Did you look for other bugs reported for forms?
thanks,
Cor

shure?   

I just jecked it on a fresh Installation of LO 5.3.1.2 (64) and with a new Dok.

Color of a Control is "Chartheuse Green" - same as by customers. And you cannot change it - everytime fallback to this color.

See attaches screenshot.

best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

> - option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.


Known bug, fixed in master, but not sure whether backported for 5.3.2






> - It is not possible to change the color.. 

Known bug, not yet fixed in master - linked to implementation of new colour palette management.

Same (or similar) known bug as above.


These bugs are already reported in BZ (but I don't have the refs to hand).

Additional informations Version 5.4.x  on Win 10 (64bit):

Crash when trying to change font or font-size:

Steps to reproduce:

Open document form - add some text in marked textfield ( formated textfield) and afterwards try to change font or font-size. 

It doen´t matter which toolbar you are using... LO crashed - see picture Crash - allert.

btw: it is not a good design to have three undependand toolbars visible with same or equalend functions.....

With comment 5 steps for crash, I could not reproduce on Linux in 5.4.0.2, nor:

Version: 7.6.6.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d97b2716a9a4a2ce1391dee1765565ea469b0ae7
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

On Windows neither:

Version: 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c21113d003cd3efa8c53188764377a8272d9d6de
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22631; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

However, a crash popped up again as a recent regression in 24.2. I have reported it separately in bug 160906.

Regarding the other issues, I tested 7.6.6.3 on Windows 11:

- 7.6: formatting is possible, although font change is only possible via right-click or with Format > Character (using the toolbar dropdowns loses the focus)
> - option Check boxes (right side near botton) are not visible.
- 7.6: I can see two radio buttons
> - all controll-fields do have a undefined background-colour - not changeble.
>   colour is "Tango: himmelblau" with I do not use. 
- 7.6: I can change the background to any colour in the Control Properties. Background is white at fileopen.

- 7.6: no crash anymore

- 7.6: still the case (as described above) on win, kf5, gen VCL plugins, but could not reproduce with gtk3. I opened bug 160907 for this inherited issue.
> - when store a form, cursor and display will move to the last Input-box. 
- 7.6: cursor remains inside active text box after saving

Closing this report as "works for me" as most original issues seem resolved, and reports should be about on single issue. Remaining issues are:
- new crash in bug 160906
- loss of selection focus to change font in bug 160907

If I missed something, and you can still reproduce it in a recent daily build, please open a new report about a single issue.
