I'm asking this here before going to ask.lo or elsewhere. I have seen
this problem only on macOS, not on Linux or Windows, so it is probably
a bug, but I have not attempted to follow this up on bugzilla. That
comes later.
I am using LO 7.2.1 on macOS 11.6 (Big Sur), with Oracle's JDK 16 or 17.
When using the Bibliography database (or any registered db that I have
created), fields in some columns are black when viewed. (Fields in
other columns are white & contents are visible.) When clicked, the
black fields turn white and I can type into them, but when I click or
tab away, they return to black. When I use a form to enter data, the
form fields are normal, but the results in the DB itself have the
black field background.
I have determined that the black fields are “Memo [LONGVARCHAR]” and
the white fields are “Text [VARCHAR]” or Date or Number or some other
type.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a quick fix? Or do you know what
the bug number is?
