Created attachment 183796 [details] Open the form. Try to input special characters into field "Name", which is set to "Read only" → 'yes' Open the attached Base file. Open the form. Try to input new content to the field "Name". Reported for Mac (https://www.libreoffice-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=38384): Special characters like "ß ´ § ` ü Ü ö Ö ä Ä" will ignore "Read only" → 'yes'. You could input this characters and save the changed content. Couldn't find any second person for testing this with a Mac. Don't have Mac here. Bug doesn't appear on Linux systems or on Windows.

I am on a Mac, but a slight challenge is I am based in Australia and so I have an Australian keyboard, but we will work around that... but in your www.libreoffice-forum.de discussion you made mention to the user manual. To expite things, can you provide me with a link to the relevant topic in the german user manual? [i suspect the UK/Australian manual may not have the same topic]

[i > suspect the UK/Australian manual may not have the same topic] German user manual (Base Handbuch) you will get here https://de.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ direct link to *.pdf is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/9/9d/Base_Gesamtband_einseitig_V74.pdf … and all updates including this versions you could get at https://www.familiegrosskopf.de/robert/ Think you are looking for Control.EnableVisible or Control.ReadOnly. This appears on page 470 in Base Handbuch V 7.4 For different questions about Base Handbuch you could mail directly to me. But this all has nothing to do with the bug. The buggy behavior seems to appear without any macro.
Hi Robert, Confirming with Version: 7.4.1.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3c58a8f3a960df8bc8fd77b461821e42c061c5f0 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.0.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded macOS Ventura 13.0.1 M1 Arm Silicon I can enter a number of umlauted characters, e.g. ö, ü, ä, and the accented characters é, à, è, and §, etc, in fact pretty much any character that also uses the Shift-Option-Letter key combination. For example, pressing Shift-Option-T inserts a superscript "TM" into the form and is saved to the table.

Hello Alex, how are you entering the special characters, from the Insert > Special Characters? I can confirm that I am able to copy and paste the special character as defined by Robert Großkopf 2022-11-26 07:58:17 UTC into a document, and I can save the document.

I just type them in via my French Azerty keyboard on my MacBook Pro. Some of the umlauted characters require typing the tréma first, followed by the vowel, whereas the most common ones have predefined keys.
