Using the Database shapes, the comment field is less than one character tall and completely not visible in the Attributes tab of the Tables Properties tool.

Asked by FreeSoftwareDave

Good morning!

I don't know if this is a bug that is known or something pequliar to my installation, but I've not been able to find a post about it anywhere.

I am trying to use the "Database" shapes and in the properties tool for the tables, the comment field is less than one character tall on the Table tab. And in the Attributes tab, the comment field is not visible...but the label for the field _is_ visible.

And what is more, if I am on the Type field and hit TAB the cursor vanishes, but I am actually typing into the comment field. If comments are turned on for that table, they will render in the Diagram area.

This is really convenient to use in an un-normalized table, so if there is a known fix for the bug I'd love to know how to apply the patch...or if there isn't, is there anything I can provide to help your project to debug this?

Peace;

Dave

If you make a fresh Ubuntu user and login as it, is it the same?
