Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked FreeBSD Office Team <office@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 274616: editors/libreoffice: Base textbox forms are mangled & unreadabl= e if they are configured as "multi-line." https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D274616 --- Description --- LibreOffice Base allows you to design forms for the display of data from tables. However, in the FreeBSD port, text boxes in Base forms do not displ= ay properly if they are configured as "multi-line." (Form -> ControlProperty -> TextType -> Multi-Line). If the form's textbox control is set to mutli-line, then there is no white = box for text entry. Instead any text entered in the textbox area is written directly onto the form's background. As you scroll from record to record the text from the previous records is displayed over the current record. After scrolling through a couple records you have an unreadable mess. I'm new to FreeBSD so I don't know when this bug was introduced. I've used = the same Base forms on Ubuntu with various versions of LibreOffice -- including 7.6.2 -- and they display properly. Also, this bug isn't present in OpenOff= ice 4.1.14.3 running on 13.2-RELEASE. I've attached an image file to show the problem. The first image shows the expected behavior. The second image shows one line of black text written on= to a blue background. This is not what a text box should look like! The third im= age shows how a second line of text is combined with the text from the previous records, making the text unreadable. It is easy to reproduce this problem. Just create a database table with a f= ield of "memo" type. Then create a simple form with a textbox for that field. Set the form control to multi-line. Thanks for your help. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
