Bug 274616: editors/libreoffice: Base textbox forms are mangled & unreadable if
they are configured as "multi-line."
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=274616



--- Description ---
LibreOffice Base allows you to design forms for the display of data from
tables. However, in the FreeBSD port, text boxes in Base forms do not display
properly if they are configured as "multi-line." (Form -> ControlProperty ->
TextType -> Multi-Line).

If the form's textbox control is set to mutli-line, then there is no white box
for text entry. Instead any text entered in the textbox area is written
directly onto the form's background. As you scroll from record to record the
text from the previous records is displayed over the current record. After
scrolling through a couple records you have an unreadable mess.

I'm new to FreeBSD so I don't know when this bug was introduced. I've used the
same Base forms on Ubuntu with various versions of LibreOffice -- including
7.6.2 -- and they display properly. Also, this bug isn't present in OpenOffice
4.1.14.3 running on 13.2-RELEASE.

I've attached an image file to show the problem. The first image shows the
expected behavior. The second image shows one line of black text written onto a
blue background. This is not what a text box should look like! The third image
shows how a second line of text is combined with the text from the previous
records, making the text unreadable.

It is easy to reproduce this problem. Just create a database table with a field
of "memo" type. Then create a simple form with a textbox for that field. Set
the form control to multi-line.

Thanks for your help. Please let me know if I can provide any additional
information.
