Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6696
Numeric-Field is not accepting ANY input
Last modified: 2002-11-28 11:43:37 UTC
Making a new form with one numeric input-field, I discovered that you cannot input something into the field. The default value is displayd correctly, but when pressing any key or clicking the spin-control, the input-field is cleared completly instead of showing the new value. The sample-dialogs show the same error (for example the scheduler or the burger- factory). I verifyed this on OO 1.0.1/Win2000 and OO 1.0.0/Win98. A user of the newsgroup verifyed it on OO 1.0.1/Linux.
TM->SBA: Seems to be more a writer-issue than a framework-issue to me. Please have a look, thanks !
Also appears in the form-editor ("dialog-editor").
The following steps can input and change the value in a numeric-field. Step1: Click ¡§Form¡¨ and choose ¡§numerical-field¡¨. Step2: Drag the size of Form. Step3: Choose From, and click right icon of mouse, choose ¡§control¡¨ then you can type default value. Step4: Close the dialog of control, you will see the default value is showing in the Form. Step5: When you want to change the value, you need to go back step3 and step4. The problem is when you save the file, close it, and re-open the file, the Form looks like you can change the value directly. However, I believe you will not succeed. What you can do is follow step1, step3 then you can change the default value now. Usually, the ¡§Design Mode¡¨ is off at this time, you need to change it to on before you do step1. Does this resolve the problem? Wen-chiao 09 11, 2002
Unfortunatly not, I think you misunderstood me. The problem is not to change the default-value in design-mode. The problem is that I want to input something when I'm not in design mode, and this doesn't work, neither in a dialog done in starbasic nor in a writer document, which is not in design-mode. With a text-field (which accepts any input) it works fine, but a numeric-field doesn't accept any input here.
Sorry, to make this clear: text-field: Should accept any input and does accept any input. numeric-field: Should accept only numbers, but doesn't accept any input.
Bug duplicated on Windows Me/ OO 1.0.1. Numerical field doesn't accept any input after you clear the default value. Besides, I noticed if the form contain an option button field, you can only select the option button and cannot clear it. (I am doing course work of "softwork testing")
REassigned to MSC
reassign to clu@openoffice.org
sorry, i can't reproduce that behavior - i also can't find a deeper reason for your behavior - it must be another problem, that is not described with your text - sorry, but in such a case i can only close this bug CLU: feel free to reopen or write a new bug if you have further intuition
