Description Frank Schönheit 2002-07-15 08:04:56 UTC 
* open a new text document
* insert a text field
* bind the form to Bibliography/biblio
* bind the field to "address"
* set the max text length to 0 (this is expected to dynamically set it to the
length of the underlying column)
* switch off the design mode
* save the document
* re-load the document
* check the max text length property
=> it is set to the length of the address column (50), not to 0 anymore
=> data loss
Comment 1 Frank Schönheit 2002-07-15 08:07:05 UTC 
accepting

FS->FS: the problem is that the property is really set to the new
value when the form gets loaded (and restored afterwards when it is
unloaded). So if the document is saved while the form is loaded, a
wrong value is written.
The problem does not happen in the 5.x file format: There, the edit
field itself is responsible for writing, and it knows about the
"faked" property, thus can handle it.
In OpenOffice 1.0 format, the instance saving the document is external
to the components, and does not know about the faked property.

adding "needhelp" keyword - perhaps external developers do want to
have a look at this?
