When editing forms on my database, they do not retain the edits ie changing a field property from flat to 3D view, once reopened the revert back to flat view
Have had this with the first LO 7.5.-versions in the other way: 3D had been default for text boxes and couldn’t be changed.
Which version of LO do you use?
Which system do you use?
Go to “Help” → “About LibreOffice” and copy the “Version Information”. Post it here.
Please use a more descriptive title for your question.
I am using Libreoffice 7.6.2.1 on 2 computers, one is a MacBook using OS 10.16.7 and a windows 11 computer with the same Libreoffice version for windows. Both have the same issue. If I create a new form and set the form to 3D it reverts to flat and the same if I try to alter form properties after creating, they revert back to flat.
@TimeMeddler : Does it happen only for textboxes, not for listboxes, comboboxes …? We had this bug the other way with text boxes only under Linux. I don’t use 3D style, so I haven’t detected such a buggy behavior before.
I don’t have any list boxes at the moment and the strange thing is 2 of the text boxes are shown as 3D but the rest are flat. I’ve tried every combination of saving the new design but it is still the same.
Have tested this with different versions (have installed about 30 different LO-Versions parallel):
Created a new form in LO 7.6.2.1 with one textbox. Set this textbox to 3D. Works.
Opened the form in LO 7.4.7.2 and created another textbox; Set this to 3D. The Textbox of LO 7.6.2 and the textbox of LO 7.4.7 will both be shown as 3D.
Opened the form in LO 7.5.5. Both textboxes will be shown flat. Created another textbox in 3D. Saved and closed.
Opened in LO 7.6.2 and all textboxes were flat. Tried to change the behavior but it wouldn’t be saved any more. All 3 textboxes of different LO-versions will be shown as flat textboxes. Seems to be a buggy behavior introduced with LO 7.5. LO 7.5 starts to set all flat textboxes as 3D, and it seems solving this bug runs into a new bug.
