Description ooo 2003-12-10 14:33:33 UTC 
The behaviour of TEXTBOX is inconsistent between DRAW/IMPRESS , CALC and WRITER.
Fields inserted into the TEXT of TEXTBOX work as expected in DRAW and IMPRESS 
but insertTextContent() fails with "illegal argument exception" in WRITER and 
the field, although present, does not display correctly in TEXTBOX CALC 
(replaced by "?").

Originates at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15509#15509

Example: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/11511/C:
/Program%20Files/OpenOffice.org1.1/myexamples/textbox%20issue.sxw

Fields have to be supported by the client of the edit engine.  Obviously this is 
not done by the Writer and Calc integration of the edit engine.  This really 
should be fixed set straight.

This issue is for Writer now, see #22788# for Calc version.

SW: changed target to OOo2.0 since the corresponding 'sister'-task for calc
isn't yet 'targetted' at all and so mostly won't make it into OOo2.0 either.
