Glom 1.8.1 problem users with limited access

I can't reproduce this. Could you please attach a screenshot of the list or details view showing this problem, and a screenshot of the permissions dialog for this user's group.

And maybe you could attach the .glom file, if the database structure is not confidential.

Attach 7 screen captures showing the problem.
After log as a simple user and open a table, the view is blank (not list, not details view). have to select from menu "Tables" a table, and now shows the list view ok, but the details view with problems.

See the captures files names for more info.

Capture 2

capture 3

capture 4

capture 5

capture 6

capture 7

If need the .glom just tell me.

There are general problems with trying to view a table that you are not allowed to view, and we need to work on that.

But I still can't reproduce this problem with viewing a table that you should be allowed to view. I will need that .glom file, please.

Will send the .glom to your mail in a few minutes.
Its a problem with a specific glom file, because I created a new database and don't have problems with users.

Only one small problem in all the databases I created.
After created a second user group, when select the second group the cursor capture the text in a way like specting to drag and drope. Escape and all is ok.

To repeat, change check or uncheck "view/edit/create/erase" of the second user group, then click on developer user group and click on the second user group.

Attach and image.

Did you send the .glom file to me? I can't find it in my inbox?

Have to send to other mail? It's a 4MB file.

Just send me the .glom file, please. That's much smaller.

Attach the .glom file

The strange drag-and-drop row thing is fixed by this commit:

2008-12-09 Murray Cumming <email address hidden>

 * glom/mode_design/users/dialog_groups_list.cc:
 * glom/mode_design/users/dialog_users_list.cc: Constructors:
 Do not enable row drag and drop on the treeviews, because it is not
 used and it just confuses users who trigger it accidentally.
 This was just some left-over code from when these classes were started
 by copying the layout dialog.
 As mentioned in Ubuntu bug
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/299573

Sorry, I think I will really need the whole directory (as a tar.gz file) to reproduce this blank-layout problem. And that will only work for me if you are also using a 32-bit Intel PC.

Can you upload it somewhere? I guess the 40Mb file was rejected by some email server.

Or you might try the File/"Save as example" feature. I think that will save the actual users/groups in the .glom file so that Glom can reproduce them when I create a new file from that example.

Attach Save as example.
Have 32-bit Intel PC
All the folder (zip) is 4MB, not 40MB
