Dear Maintainer,

I was editing a form and I needed to check which form of sub-form grid I was
editing. I opened the from navigator, maximised it and tries to drag and drop
the grid from the sub-form to the form. I couldn't perform that action. I
closed the form navigator without reducing the windows size first. Then I tries
to reopen it again and it failed. The button is punched in but nothing happens.
I tried using a macro as indicated here ( https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/in-
libreoffice-base-5-3-0-3-the-form-navigation-button-stopped-working/23866/3 )
but that doesn't work either. I purged LibreOffice Base from my system,
reinstalled it, but the bug remains.

Thank you for your work.

In fact I've just realised that the window was now reduced to a one pixel
wide vertical line, practically invisible to the eye. I noticed a white
line over the left panel and when I moved my cursor over it, it changed to
resizing mode, so I concluded that it was the Form Navigator window and
resized it to normal. The button works correctly. Sorry for disturbing you.

Hi,

get it from your description.

b) Please try with a newer version. E.g. backports has 7.3.5. (That one
is a dead branch too, but still better than 7.0.4)

c) Base unfortunately is one of the lesser cared about pieces of
LibreOffice..

Last but not least: This is not a release-critical or otherwise very
important bug and thus does not qualify for any update in stable anyway.
So won't get much attention in any case.

That almost always doesn't help anything for actual bugs in software...


Regards,


Rene
