Open the form and have a look at the listbox in the third column of controls. Shouldn't be greyed out.

Reproduced in: Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 658a212585c56540a17c41111e6829716d4ef4e3 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Same in 7.0.0.3 Following my bug 160881 comment 1, I think that the solution should be "don't offer the read-only option for listboxes" rather than "don't grey out read-only listboxes". That's because listboxes don't allow entering values by hand, and therefore a read-only state is not useful. Copying UX/Design for opinion.

Please don't set this as a solution: The content should be well readable in a read-only control. Read-only should only set "could not be choosen any new value" like it is for combo boxes.

Example for editable and enabled state
ComboBoxes typically become look like listboxes when not editable depending on OS/DE with a special appearance. Enabled or not is indicated by muted colors. The example shows how Qt/QML show controls.
We should introduce this beveled appearance for listboxes and readonly comboboxes.
