Bug ID: 157232
Summary: Writer EDITING: type dot not permitted in field name
starting with numeric value
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.6.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
As of LibreOffice Writer version 7.5.6 I cannot declare a new user field with
the name starting with a number and containing a dot, e.g. “111.”, “0.”, etc.
If instead I try to declare a new variable with the name that starts with a
character and contains a dot it works, e.g. “f.aaa”, “aa11.aa11”, etc.
I would like to declare a user field variable with a name similar to
"01.myvariable".
Is there a reason why you can no longer use variable names that start with a
number and contain a dot?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Writer
2. open Fields dialog (ctrl+F2 or Insert → Field → More Fields)
3. in Type section select User Field
4. in Name try to insert a number followed by dot (type 0.)
5. when you type the dot, the Name is erased
6. in Name try to insert a char followed by dot (type a.)
7. the Name value is correct, “a.”
Actual Results:
When typing "1." the result is "1"
When typing "a." the result is "a."
Expected Results:
When typing "1." the result is "1."
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
