Bug#854623: libreoffice: Libreoffice form control properties are inaccessible under gnome wayland
Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:5.2.5-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I recently attempted to edit a libre office base form. I was able to open the
properties box for the controls: say text field, but was unable to access or
change the settings - such as which data field a the text box was associated
with.
I first tried upgrading to the version in experimental (I'm running testing as
the target) from 1:5.2.5-1 to 1:5.3.0-1. This did not correct the problem.
I then made sure that my system was fully updated. It was.
I then tried running libre office base from the command line to see if there
were any relevant error messages. I got the following message any time I tried
to access a control property:
(soffice:15742): Gdk-WARNING **: Window 0x55f256e1f330 is already mapped at the
time of grabbing. gdk_seat_grab() should be used to simultaneously grab input
and show this popup. You may find oddities ahead.
It sounds like the wrong method is being called or something. I performed an
internet search for similar problems and found that a fedora bug report with a
similar error message. In this report it was suggested that the problem had to
do with libreoffice not working under wayland.
I logged out and logged back in under x11 and found that the controls now
worked properly.
