It appears to have gone quiet on this issue, and yet it is not fixed.

At first I thought it was because the form I designed was a complicated 1, but alas that is not the case. I have since created a simple hsql embedded database, of 1 table, with 3 fields, including an auto increment primary key field.

Used the forms wizard to create a form based on that simple table.

The form gets created.

On the fullsize laptop & PC, libreoffice base woks as it should, however, on 2 separate netbooks, an Elonex webbook, and a Dell inspiron 1011, the Elonex having a VIA C-7M 1600MHz processor, the dell, Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz processor, the following occurs.

The forms successfully creates
However, when attempting to edit the form., you cannot get the form design toolbar to display, nor the form controls toolbar.
Right clicking on a form control, will not allow you to edit the form control.

Each of the laptops, and netbooks have Ubuntu 10.04 installed, and fully updated. Also, have Java 6 updates 22 installed, all other versions of java removed.

The only thing I can think of that is appreciably different is the resolution ratio, as the netbooks have the screen resolution of 1024x576., but that may be coincidental.

Please resolve this issue as soon as possible, or at least post regular updates as for when a fix is likely.

Thanks Tony
