Package: libreoffice-base
Version: 1:3.3.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
The data loss here is "non-serious" only because this is a trival
database. If i had this happen to a database that i cared about, i
would be unhappy.
To reproduce:
0) run "libreoffice"
1) click "Database"
2) choose "Create a new database", click "Next"
3) "Yes, register the database for me" (it's not clear what this
means), and "Open the database for editing"; click "Finish"
4) choose a file name ("test.odb") and click "Save"
5) "Create Table in Design View..."
6) (in design view) add 4 columns:
* id (Integer [INTEGER])
* testa (Text [VARCHAR])
* testb (Date [DATE])
* testc (Number [NUMERIC])
7) click "Save" on toolbar, accept default name "Test1"
8) on "No primary key: Should a primary key be created now" prompt,
choose "Yes" (i observe that it creates a column named "ID" in
addition to the "id" column that already exists. maybe this is
the root of the problem?)
9) (back in main window) right-click new Table1, choose "Open", enter
some example rows.
10) for testb, i entered "2011-02-03", and when i hit tab, it turned
into "40577". in testc, i put "123", and it gave me "40577"
Thanks for maintaining libreoffice in debian! I hope this can get
sorted out.
--dkg
PS i'm attaching the generated .odb file (i saved it) if it will help
with debugging.
