It turns out that I needed to install libreoffice-gtk3.  Having done so,
multi-select boxes now work using the ubuntu ppa version.

Thanks for the help and advice.

OK - thanks.  

It may be that this has always been an ubuntu packaging issue.  I'll try to
remember to test your versions directly before raising any future reports here.

I never did it since I don't use Ubuntu, but
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs may help.

Version 5.4.0.3 was recently made available via the ubuntu pre-release ppa:

Version: 5.4.0.3
Build ID: 1:5.4.0~rc3-0ubuntu0.17.04.1~lo0
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.10; UI render: default; VCL: x11; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group

In that version multi-select still doesn't work.



I downloaded the latest 5.4.0.3 version from libreoffice (to /opt):

Version: 5.4.0.3
Build ID: 7556cbc6811c9d992f4064ab9287069087d7f62c
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group

and that still works.

So it seems there's an ubuntu problem. I'm not entirely clear how to report
that.  Can you help?

It might well be fixed, but without an identifiable commit our triaging rules
don't allow us to set it to fixed, just WFM. The aim of that rule is to be able
to trace back a commit in the event that something it was supposed to fix
breaks something somewhere else so we can decide whether or not the fixing
commit is to be reverted or replaced with another fix ;-)

Thanks for the information.

My programming skills are sadly limited these days so I fear I can't help with
development.  I lost track sometime around 1985, and just tinker with bits of
VB (for LO), and occasional other languages when I really have to (looking
everything up on t'web). 

BTW this change of status is a definite 'fix' - robert confirmed it was
misbehaving previously and I retried it only days ago on 5.3.5.1 before
developing my now unnecessary workaround :-)

Snaps don't provide the mysql-connector to my knowledge (in fact, they only
seem to provide the basic office suite without any extras, and jailed to boot).

You might be luckier with PPAs, but they definitely have a certain
je-ne-sais-quoi-c'est-du-n'importe-quoi, oh, whoops, did I let that huge
regression in there?" about them, IMO, YMMV.

Thank you for your feedback Tim.
Let's put this one to WFM.

About resolution of bugs, there are different priorities and even in devs, some
contribute with their spare time.
Now I must recognize that Base seems a module for which I know only 1 expert
dev only.

By any chance, can you program? If yes and if you have some time, you may
contribute in dev (see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved)

I just installed Version: 5.4.0.3

Build ID: 92c2794a7c181ba4c1c5053618179937228ed1fb
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); Calc: group

(as an additional 'opt' installation on ubuntu).  This problem has definitely
been fixed.  As I said earlier I knew that as soon as I got around to putting
the work in to circumvent it the problem would be fixed!

I hope this pre-release becomes available soon on ubuntu as a snap or ppa,
along with the associated mysql connector (or is there one somewhere in the
pre-release directory?).

--- Comment #8 from t...@tim-passingham.co.uk ---
In my current version if I have multi-selection and drop-down selected, I see
no values at all.  If I don't have drop-down I see the values and can select,
but it's very difficult to use since I have many dozen entries in each box and
I can't have the boxes big enough.

A few days ago I decided that this problem probably wouldn't be fixed any time
soon, so I spent a couple of days redesigning the application that used this
feature so that I don't really need it any more.  As I was doing this I thought
"Now I've started to redesign this I bet it gets fixed soon".  And sure
enough. :-)

Which version will this fix likely get into?

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I can see values when
clicking on the arrow of the dropbox.
I can then select several values (not very easily I must recognize) with
Ctrl+left click
How was the behaviour in old version?

--- Comment #6 from t...@tim-passingham.co.uk ---
Is there any chance this will get looked at?  I appreciate no one else seems to
have commented that they have problems against this bug report.

The use case is that I want to assemble a list of items from a database that
match several criteria, and quite often that means more than one variable from
the same list.  Redesigning my application to find another user-friendly way of
doing this is giving me a few problems.

The problem is still present in Version: 5.3.2.2

Just to say this is still an issue in Version: 5.3.1.1
Build ID: 1:5.3.1~rc1-0ubuntu1~yakkety0 

I've changed my listboxes to single selection for now, which means I've lost
functionality, but it's the best compromise for me for the time being.

Having said I can live with it, I just tried it on my real-life form and it
does make life difficult.  My lists are really rather long (sometimes hundreds
of entries).

If it can't be fixed moderately soon (within a month or 2) in a pre-release
I'll need to redesign the form with much bigger boxes.

I'm happy to test a dev (non-ubuntu) version.

Thanks for that tip.  It now works - I think I can live with that.

Now all I need is checkboxes working (#105463) :-)
