(Get the code!)
The above discussion sounds like the problem is difficult to reproduce.
In fact it is simple and quick and exactly as Björns comment 14.
On Ubuntu Natty (i32 and amd64)
LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202)
tag libreoffice-
the result is exactly the same:
When opening a form to enter data there are no navigation bars, no tool bars and no status bar. You can only add a record by clicking on the last field and pressing enter. You can manually add the navigation bar, but it will disappear after close/reopen the form. You can not add the status bar. And if you try to add the formating toolbar the navigation bar will disappear.
When editing a form there are no Form Design and Form Control toolbars. Also you cannot click a control to get to these tools, so you can not change your form at all, other then drag the control around a bit.
I think more needs to be done then 'keep an eye out'.
I just downloaded 3.3.2 Final (22-03-2011) (the deb version) from the LO web site, installed on a Maverick VM with OO wiped off.
LO is same build OOO330m19 (Build:202). Guess what, here Data entry and Forms Editing work fine.
This suggests a packaging problem in Ubuntu.
So then upgraded to LibreOffice 3.4 RC2 (2011-05-27)
LibreOffice 3.4.0
OOO340m1 (Build:12)
Also NO problems here (with forms).
So it actually does seem to be a packaging problem. But then one then occurs on multiple distributions - not just Ubuntu.
Now what. None of the user with Natty installed is currently able to do any useful database work.
We need a fix in Natty and quick too.
