If this was a question for me... ...my only concern was to be able to see the field (e.g., with ctrl-f8) ...was not trying to propose enhancement or UX design. If "zero width" has printing implications, then "zero width" might be preferred.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129760 Regina Henschel changed: What|Removed |Added CC||rb.hensc...@t-online.de --- Comment #9 from Regina Henschel --- Width should be zero, but it should have a field shading, similar as a soft hyphen has even a shading, when it is not at the end of a line and therefore not written. If you go with the cursor over the input field using the arrow keys, you see a change in the cursor type, when you are inside the field. But that does not help, if you don't know, that there is an input field because there is no visual hint. I support the request for a visible hint for empty input fields. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Please double-click on "New value", which should open "Review Fields" dialog box. 2. Delete string "New value" (so that dialog box is empty). 3. Ok Then you should be able to see the problem (i.e, the input field is not visible, and does not appear with ctrl+f8 or ctrl-f9). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Speaking more generally you don't want to see fields but a kind of pixel-perfect print preview. And this variable input is rather a constant not meant to flexible enter data like done with form > text box, and other. So my take => WF.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129760 --- Comment #3 from sdc.bla...@youmail.dk --- Additional information. Ctrl-F9 does not show field codes for Input Field variables created with a Text or User variable Systematic procedure to see problem. 1. Create (and insert) a variable with Text format. 2. Create (and insert) a variable with General Format and alphabetic value (e.g., abcd) (I know. But this is to illustrate a point.) 3. Create a User Field, with General Format and alphabetic value. 4. Insert three input fields, one with each variable. Actual Result: - Text format variable is displayed - General format variable displays (little) grey box - User Field (with General format) shows alphabetic value - Input field with Text and User displays text - Input field with General displays (little) grey box. Part II. Create and insert a User Field (with no value). Note that a grey box is shown. Part III. View > Field Names (Ctrl+F9) Actual Result: - Input field with Text and User variables do not show field names - All other fields display their contents (including the alphabetic values for the General Format variable) Observations. 1. Even though the input field with a General variable and the empty User Field does not show anything, the field itself is still shown with a grey box. 2. Similarly, Ctrl-F9 shows the codes for the General variable Input field box, but no field name codes are shown for the input boxes with Text and User variables. 3. As noted before, if you remove the contents (value) of the Text format or User format variables, then the Input box becomes invisible, unless you move the cursor until you "notice" that have have entered the field again. Retested with LO 6.3.4.2 and same results with: Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 444f0d256957544d26b9af9a0898364e829df1b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: GL; VCL: win; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

I understand. But in this particular use case, with an Input Field, it should be visible.

This example was created by another person (with 6.3.0.0), which may explain why Ctrl-F9 does not work. (It does work with 6.5.0.0). But where can one give a Field name in the Fields dialog? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
