Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108423
Form Controls are flickering in documents
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:23:52 UTC
Form Controls like Radio Button or Check Box flicker, when document is opened. I'll attach a simple example, where this behaviour can be seen. I've done tests on Linux and Windows, on both OS it behaves the same. Another example, where this behaviour can be seen is in SDK Basic example burger_factory.odt: ooo/odk/examples/basic/forms_and_controls/burger_factory.odt

Add me to CC
This happened after fix of Issue 108325, I believe.
can confirm - please add as showstopper for OO 3.2! adding me to cc
add me to cc and regression keyword set. Regards. JBF
Example of complex forms really unusable. See attached document fangus3.ods

Hi fs, Another problem, surely linked with the flickering, is that the process soffice.bin consume constantly ~ 10 - 15% of the CPU when doing nothing. 0% CPU with rc1 and rc2 on the same test files. Is this problem gone with your fix ? Kind regards. JBF
fs->msc: please verify in CWS dba321a. Please also verify that issue 108325, whose original fix introduced this bug here, does not happen, again.
The CPU consumption indeed is also a symptom of the problem: Upon each repaint of the form controls, a new repaint is scheduled, so that OOo constantly uses one processor/core for nothing but repaints.

fix copied to CWS dba32z

I once voted for the bug I found that flicker blocker. If RC3 has been created for the minor problem for me to Sun Recording, Why not make a RC4? Why not correct the bugs already reported? truly disappointed JYL

i think an RC4 release with this fix would be a wise solution. this bug is annoying... OOo 3.2 with this would be embarassing
targeting to 3.2
Similar issues seen with 3.2.0 RC3 (OOo320m10 build 9477) on win2k SP4: Opening an existing database form (from 3.0.1 using hsqldb) causes soffice.exe process to run at 60 - 90%. In the case of one form, a text box, some formatted fields and some label fields are all shifted left in a big jumble on top of each other. The other form I tried didn't show this trait despite having been constructed in a similar manner. Is this related?
The symptoms I reported are completely fixed in RC4.
