Description Frank Peters 2013-08-05 19:29:18 UTC
In LO 4.1.0.4., when creating a new labels document using:

Files --> New --> Labels

all of the pre-defined label types contain no formatting information.

All formatting fields are set to zero and all labels are set to 1 column x 1 row.

It is impossible to use the pre-defined label types.  The only work around is to manually add a new user type with correct formatting parameters. 

This problem has been reported and confirmed on the Users Global mailing list :

http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg32054.html

I would consider this issue to be very severe.

Operating System: Linux (Other)
Version: 4.1.0.4 release
Last worked in: 4.0.4.2 release

Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: 09a4c4d176ff97ab8ff4027af83a549991667baf

Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As I've been able to confirm this problem I am marking as:

But this seems strange as master, commit 1cf0999, pulled around
2013-07-28 0208 UTC, does not show the bug.  Has the bug been fixed
since the daily bibisect was updated on 2013-07-16?
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2013-08-07 00:01:03 UTC
If bibisect is done we remove bibisectrequest :) Thanks Terrence for taking care of this one
Comment 4 Michael Meeks 2013-08-07 08:48:13 UTC
Matus - this is almost certainly a consequence of the label re-work in 4.1 ? any chance you can take a look ?
Comment 5 Matúš Kukan 2013-08-10 11:10:47 UTC
AFAICS does not happen in debug build.
Should be fixed in master with 5372bbd0136ee8006f0641e1a6afee5c0e07e253.

I came on bugzilla to report this exact critical regression, since we just discovered it here in our testing.  Looks like I was a bit late to the party.

Shouldn't this be marked "ASSIGNED"?

I installed LO 4.1.2.0.0 from the daily builds repository and the labels now function normally.

I was able to create a merge from an address database using one of the pre-formatted label templates.

Hopefully others will report the same.

Thanks for the quick response.
Comment 12 Terrence Enger 2013-08-21 17:45:54 UTC
With master commit 73ab2af, configured with --enable-dbgutil, built
and running of Linux, the problem is fixed.
