LibreOffice Base puts a 3D border around all label fields and will not let me remove it

While working on a form in Base, the application crashed. I restarted and recovered my data using the crash wizard. After that, every single label field in all of my forms, no matter what database I open, has a 3D border around it. I try changing it in edit mode and save, but the border comes back.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling LibreOffice, deleting my profile, creating new databases, and no matter what, Base overrides my border settings and puts a 3D border on all of my label and text box fields. At one point I thought I had resolved the issue by ungrouping fields, but the next time I opened the database the 3D borders were back.

I don’t think I have a corrupt database. I think that the build that I have installed is defective.

Here’s my product version and build information:

Version: 25.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 03d19516eb2e1dd5d4ccd751a0d6f35f35e08022
CPU threads: 22; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Days worth of work are about to go down the tubes because of this; without a solution I’ll have to abandon LibreOffice Base entirely and either just use Calc spreadsheets or go back to MS Access.

Thanks.

See 167358 – FORMS: Label controls, saved without border, will be shown with 3D-border
Bug first appears in LO 25.2.5.1, will be fixed in LO 25.2.6.0
