--- Comment #3 from Rainer Bielefeld <LibreOffice at bielefeldundbuss.de> 2012-08-07 05:29:14 UTC ---
I do not understand "Description "Print repeated values" - how it works and how
it should work", Reporter does not cite any source for the "expected behavior"

Steps how to reproduce with Server Installation of  "LibreOffice 3.6.0.4 rc 
English UI/ German Locale [Build-ID:  932b512] on German WIN7 Home Premium
(64bit) :
Preparations
0. download Attachment 56260 of "Bug 45338 - EDITING ReportBuilder: 
  'Details - General Keep Together' without visible effect"
1. Open Database Document
2. In Database pane click "Tables"
3. In Tables pane open Table "Name" with double click
   in records 0 ... 1 you find "Erich", "Karl", "Anna"
4. Scroll to table end, Behind ID "<Auto" add one by one 
   "Erich", "Erich", "Karl", "Karl", "Anna", "Anna"
   (records 41 ... 46)
5. Click Save icon
6. Menu 'File -> Close'

Test

7. In Database Pane Click "Reports"
8. In Reports pane rightclick -> Edit report "detail_hold_together"
9. Click "=Name" field in "Detail", in "General" Tab set "Print repeated
values" 
   to "Yes" if necessary
10. Click "Execute Report" in toolbar
    > Report will be created
    > As expected at the end you see records 41 ... 46  "Erich", "Erich", 
      "Karl", "Karl", "Anna", "Anna"
11. Close Report
12. Change to 'Edit Report' view if necessary
13.  Click " "=Name"" field in "Detail", in "General" Tab set "Print 
     repeated values" to "No" 
14. Click "Execute Report" in toolbar
    > Report will be created
    Expected: records 41 ... 46  "Erich", Record with empty name field, 
              "Karl", Record with empty name field, 
              "Anna", Record with empty name field
    Actual: As expected.

I read the "expected behavior" in the German "Base Handbuch 3.5", but I can't
imagine for what this function should be useful.

LOCALHELP finds "Print repeated values" under "Properties" in Database / Report
Builder Help, but there is no help for that item. Help has to be improved for
Report builder, currently It' completely useless.

So currently I do no know what I should expect, but observed behavior is in
accordance with the only help source I have, so NOT reproducible!

I did not find a related AOOo issue.

@reporter:
Thank you for your report – unfortunately important information is missing.
May be hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> will help you to
find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem? If you
believe that that  is really sophisticated please as for Help on a user mailing
list
Please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot) or refer to an existing 
  sample document in an other Bug with a link; to attach a file to this 
  bug report, just click on "Add an attachment" right on this page.
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a document related step by step instruction containing every 
  key press and every mouse click how to reproduce your problem 
  (similar to example in Bug 43431)
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO version (with Build ID if it's not a public release)
     and localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- If you can contribute an AOOo Issue that might be useful
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

@David:
Can you please try to gain more information for Help?
