Hello, libreoffice-ux-advise list!


I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 and Gentoo 13 with
LibreOffice 4.0.0.3.

I was going to sketch a simple web-form, which contain some Labels, Text
boxes, Checkboxes etc.

I created ODT and ODG documents, opened "Form Controls" Toolbar, and found
needed form elements here.
But I get an unexpected behavior on printing of my results.

For  ODT (LO Writer) I discovered the following (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61742 and
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61736):
if I open if I open 'Page preview' up and down arrows in 'List Box' and
'Combo Box' are on place. But if I print the document with any printer
(cups-pdf of physical printer) arrows do not exist. If I export a PDF via
'File-Export as PDF' (mark "Create PDF Form" is unchecked) I do not see
arrows too.

For ODG (Draw) I discovered the same behavior (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61746) - there are arrows on
screen, but there are no arrows on print and PDF export.

I expect that output PDF (or sheet of paper) will look like  screen version
of document (otherwise WYSIWYG conception is broken and I will get
unexpected result).

So I think that all form elements must look on paper or PDF (no matter how
it is got - with Export as PDF or virtual PDF printer) exactly as on screen.


With best regards,
Norbert.
