Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 23928
Checkbox as last control on Form does not display
Last modified: 2006-05-31 14:29:06 UTC
Hi, I've noticed that when using the Autopilot to create a Form everything works well until you go to open the Form/document again. If the last control on the Form was a Checkbox, then the Checkbox does not display. Attached to this issue is a simple dbase file. Copy this file to the Biblio folder. The document provided is the result of running the Autopilot against this table. That is simply use the autopilot to create a Form Select all fields (which by defaults places the checkbox last) Select the layout first button (Columnar - Labels Left) Create the form Close and reopen the form/document. The checkbox is there but it is hidden. If the form is created with the checkbox first then it works. So it appears something goes astray when the checkbox is last. Hope this helps Kelvin

Hi kelvine, I can see the invisible field in the attached bugdoc, however I can't reproduce it with the formautopilot. This is what I have done. 1. copy the attached Issue.dbf to the user/database/biblio folder 2. start OOo 3. start the formwizard from FILE/AUTOPILOT/FORM 4. select the datasource Bibliography and the table Issue 5. click the 'move all fields' button 6. click next 7. select 'columnar - labels left' arrangement 8. click create 9. click save in the 'save as' dialog. => the wizard is closed, only the form document is open. 10. close the form document with FILE/CLOSE 11. open the form document with FILE/OPEN ==>> all controls are visible. What do I different from your proceeding? Bye Marc
Hi Marc, In order to see if it was just me I decided to remove everything I could. Start as clean as possible and use your instructions to see if the problem repeated. I removed all data sources except the Bibliography data source. Deleted my copy of the Issues.dbf file so that I could download the copy from this issue. I then followed your steps. I saved to the Desktop but that should not make a difference. The result I get when I reopen is that I cannot see the checkbox field. So from my perspective it is a repeatable problem. As usual however it could just be my problem. I did a checksum which showed the version 1.1.0 which I have is a valid download. I'm using OO1.1.0 (not the 'a' version.) Running Windows XP Home. I have downloaded and installed OO680m15 but since uninstalled it. I also don't run with Quickstarter loaded. Rather than spend too much time I will see if others on the dba list see the same problem. This will identify if it is just me. Thanks Kelvin
issue 22375 related to this one.
change subcomponent to 'none'
Hi, I just tested this on another faster, newer machine which has had very little software installed and I could not duplicate my issue. I decided to remove all previous versions of OOo (1.0, 1.0.3 and 1.1.0) and reinstall OOo1.1.0. My gut feeling was that perhaps that developer version had created an issue. After the reinstall I could no longer duplicate the issue. I will mark the issue as works for me. Kelvin At some point I will remove all versions of OpenOffice.org on my machine and see if this fixes the problem. Just thought I would let you know it could be specific to my machine. My only concern is installing the m15 developer version may have done something.
