Single-Line List Boxes, Size to Data, and Display bug?

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:48:52 GMT

It seems like I've run into a small glitch. To me, this glitch indicates that the behavior is related probably to the 'size to data' field being unchecked.

Here's what happens:

1. Open Document (Before photo - incorrect, not the way it should be displayed)
2. Change tabs (same document, just a different sheet)
3. Go back to original sheet
4. Correctly displayed (After photo)

A couple things worth mentioning:

I have 'Size to Data' off on all of these objects. I wanted them to fit tightly together, with no gaps.
I also have each of these objects to use multiple columns ("Single Column" is unchecked essentially)

Are we aware of this issue already? I searched, but couldn't find where this was caught previously.

Anyone have any ideas if this is a 'known issue' or not?

Hi,

which version you are running? Can you upload an example. I cannot imagine this. Haven't seen any problem with size/no size to data before. Maybe you haven't set all listboxes. Or, are you using linked objects in version 10?

Absolutely (attached).

Here's what to do (at least what I do:)

1. Simply open the file (should have the data still present - a reload will fail, as you do not have the QVDs I generated).

2. Immediately upon opening the file, you should see the 'bad' display behavior.

3. Swap to the 2nd tab (also appears 'bad')

4. Go back to the 1st tab

You'll see it formatted correctly after 'changing' tabs away and then back again - works like this on every tab.

I've tried unchecking/rechecking various settings, to no avail.

This is a very strange behavior. I would report this as a bug. Can't find no solution or workaround...
