Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 110666
Date Controls with both a Spin Button and Dropdown Don't Spin
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:09 UTC
Problem: In several different contexts where a date control exists with both a spin button and a dropdown, the spin button is inaccessible to the mouse-- i.e. you can't click the buttons. Places this occurs: 1) A grid control on a form with a date column configured with a date control. 2) The date controls used by OOo on the property sheets of of the date control for setting the various default dates. The property fields all have both spin buttons and dropdowns, but none of the spin buttons work. 3) Date controls placed on dialogs created via the macro dialog editor. (This is not an exhaustive list, just the places I have come across) Observations: 1) It looks like the problem is caused by an overlap of the text field of the date and the spin button. In other words, one might speculate that the calculation of the width of the text portion of the entire field, doesn't take into account subtracting the width of the spin button. This is indicated by two things: i) Hovering the cursor shows a text field cursor and not a pointer. ii) Typing text at the end of the year (repeat a '0' for instance) to fill out the remaining field, will overlap this text with the position of the spin button. 2) It works fine if you place a date control field directly on a Base Form. 3) In some, but not all of these contexts, the spin button doesn't even show until you hover over where it should be. 4) I have tried playing with justifications but to no avail.
confirm, set target and send to the right developer
can reproduce on Linux, but not on Windows => sound like a problem with the NWF.
