Oliver-Rainer Wittmann <o...@apache.org> has asked for 4.1.0_release_blocker: Issue 124474: Input fields do not show content in header/footer https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124474
------- Additional Comments from Oliver-Rainer Wittmann <o...@apache.org> Root cause: The input fields in the given sample document are of type 'User Variable Input Field' - their content reflects the value of a user variable ('User Field' called in the UI). (Via these input fields the value of the user variable can be changed.) Since the in-place editing of Input Fields enhancement the content of these input fields are evaluated when the input field is inserted into the document model. For input fields in page header/footer this is done before the user variable is imported. Thus, the input fields in page header/footer are empty. In AOO 4.0.1 (and in earlier versions) - before the in-place editing of Input Fields enhancement - the content for these input fields were evaluated when the input field is rendered into the document's view. At this time the complete document is already imported and thus, user variable's content is available. The content of an user variable is set via the corresponding UNO-API during the ODF import. No update of the corresponding input fields is triggered. Thus, a similar defect already exists in previous version when a user variable's content gets set/changed via the UNO-API. Triggering an update of the related input fields when a user variable is set/changed via the UNO-API - as it is done when the user variable's content is changed in the UI - will solve this defect. Requesting show-stopper-status as a fix will be available soon and it is a regression introduced in AOO 4.1.0 code line. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
