Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19793
form function: group box not on print and page preview
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:54:51 UTC
This is a Calc only problem, in Writer it's okay: How to reproduce: 1. New spreadsheet. 2. Form function: new group box. 3. Complete the Autopilot (entering two fieldnames does suffice). The group box is seemingly completed and OK, but when printed or in page preview, only the frame of the group box is visible, not the content (eg. field names). btw, Context Menu > Control > Print is _not_ inactive, nor if you enter the group and check the individual group fields. Finally, if you save, close and re-open it, the group box is printed alright, but if you add a new group box, it suffers the same error. This defect has been reproduced on 1.1RC4 DE Win98SE, thanks to Mathias at the german users-Mailinglist!
Hi Niklas, one for you I think. Maybe it's a double but I was not able to find the corresponding one. Frank
Need to set the layer for control shapes created via API, possibly in ScModelObj::createInstance.
Workaround for now: Cut&Paste the group box once.
This issue should get target "later". That doesn't mean it won't get done before 2.0, just that it's not a necessity.
According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to OOo Later.
Given that my reported issue is nearly as old as a good Single Malt and clealy not being worked on, I close this bug.
