First, please carefully consider the reply from Pierre-Elliott Bécue. The tone of your email is way out of line. If this is the way you regularly communicate, I would not be surprised that Rene closes your bug reports. It is clear to me from your quote of Rene's response that Rene honestly believed he was answering your question and the bug should be closed. Politely expressing the difference between the current behavior and what you were asking for, and at the same time reopening the bug (at a proper severity), would have been appropriate. It should have been done in the bug tracker and _not_ on this list. I've set Reply-To to the bug report only. I don't use libreoffice daily, but I do use it. If this is a case that lowriter already has a way to obtain "between" spacing, but it is just not in the proper dialog box, then this is a "normal" bug at most, possibly "minor". However, I don't believe lowriter ever had such a feature. If this is the case, the severity is "wishlist", and not higher. (If it does have this feature, I would personally be interested in how to do it!) In no way would I consider this an "important" bug, and absolutely not "serious" or RC. All missing or not-yet-implemented features might be considered to have a "major effect on usability" by someone, but in almost all cases, such a feature request is still only a "wishlist" bug. Please don't confuse the difference between how you would like the software to behave and how it is currently designed to behave as being anything more than a feature request, regardless of how important you believe the feature is. ...Marvin
