Description: If I create a formatted field in report builder and I want to insert a new formula in this field for example " =IF().. " statement I use its utility to complete the formula. I choose 'If' from the list and a three lines fields will be appear on front, first to enter test, second to enter value if test is true, third if value is false. Now if I press the upward arrow icon button to choose field name, a dialog box appear but this one not working at all. You can not choose any field or use any button on this dialog box, it will stuck. You have to cancel this utility and start it again. Next time if I try to write all the If statement myself, the statement will be cut-off by half when you close it. If you succeed to write complete statement then it will not give you correct results. Is it a bug? If yes, what is the solution? How to patch it? Actual Results: Please see the problem by testing it. I checked on Linux Mint and Ubuntu. Expected Results: The dialog to choose field when entering formula should work and do not stuck. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I have seen a tutorial video using this functionality and it shows no problem there. Tutor was using LO in windows plate-farm.

Please indicate: - whether you are using your Linux distribution provided version ? - the name and version of the Linux distribution ? Some versions released by some Linux distributions have particular problems that are not present in the TDF downloads. There was a known issue in older versions of LibreOffice with not being able to add fields from these windows in the ReportBuilder. This issue was fixed, but as LibreOffice 6.0.7.3 is now obsolete (unless maintained by the distribution), it might be that the fix in question hasn't been integrated in the version you are using. Please try and install a current production release from the LibreOffice website to see whether that solves the problem.
--- Comment #3 from Robert Großkopf <robert at familiegrosskopf.de> --- Could confirm the buggy behaviour. Create a report. Drag a field for text. Go to "Data" in the properties sidebar. Open the functions-wizard with the button with "...". Choose the function IF. Go to the field for "Test" and press the button on the right (arrow up). A dialogue appears, which will show the fields of the datasource of the report. Try to choose one field. No field could be choose, no action available any more. Have to kill the dialogue an whole LO and start new. This all appears in OpenSUSE 15 64bit rpm Linux, LO 6.2.2.2 Comment lost during the BZ outage -> https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-bugs/2019-March/176604.html
