------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 17 18:35:31 -0800 2007 ------- A long time ago, right when version 2.0 came out, I encountered a bug in OpenOffice. If you went to save your new document but accidentally clicked on the name of an existing file, OOo would overwrite the file silently. Shortly thereafter, the bug was fixed, and we all updated to the new version. Unfortunately, there seems to be some obscure path in your code that still has this problem. Here were my steps: (1) Open oowriter, clean start (2) Type some text (3) Press ctrl-A (4) DOUBLE click on a directory you want to save to The first click opened the directory. The second click selected the name of a file right under where I had clicked on my documents directory. That file was selected and overwritten. The first problem is that OOo pays attention to the second click of a double click on a directory name. That's really bad. It both a usability problem in that similar things require different actions as well as a bug in that the second click is passed onto the opened directory. The second problem is that that second click is treated as a double click on a file, when really, it should be treated as one click (the first was "consumed" when it opened the directory). That's worse. The third problem is that I wasn't asked whether or not I wanted to overwrite the file. That's unacceptable. Note that the lack of overwrite warning is hard to reproduce. However, there are enough other problems that lead to it that if you fix them, then the danger will be averted, even if there's still a bug lurking in the overwrite check. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
