(1) Run LibreOffice naming the bibliography database on the command
    line.  In the daily Linux dbguilt repository version 2016-02-26,
    my command is (one line) ...
        opt/program/soffice --norestore --nologo
                            opt/presets/database/biblio.odb
    Program presents window "biblio.odb - LibreOfficeDev Base 5.2 ...".

(2) Click <Queries> <Create Query in SQL View...>.  Program presents
    window "biblio.odb : Query1 - LibreOfficeDev Base: Query Design
    5.2 ...".

(3) Type SQL statement ...
        select asdf from biblio
    and type "<F5>".
    Expected : error message because there is no such column as "asdf".
    Observed : Data pane shows empty column headed "asdf".

For comparison, an embedded Firebird database does correctly reject a
comparable query.

Note that the problem is not visible in daily Linux dbgutil bibisect
versions 2016-02-27 through 2016-03-02 because of tdf#98361 "Selection
via keyboard exits Base".

The problem is already present in 43max bibisect repository, version
oldest.

Dear Terrence Enger,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
