------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 25 23:08:25 -0800 2007 ------- Bug successfully replicated on: Ubuntu 6.10 edgy Eft `uname -a` --> Linux whitewizard 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP i686 GNU/Linux OpenOffice 2.0.4, Ubuntu's official builds Gnome 2.16.1 Bug replicated via: 1- Fire up OpenOffice Presentation. 2- When the Presentation Wizard appears, simply press 'Create'. (Empty Presentation) 3- Choose the 'Title Slide" layout from the layouts menue. 4- Enter arbitrary text in both Title and Body sections of the slide. 5- Save the file. (Ctrl + S) 6- Select "Insert|Date and Time" 7- In the appearing 'Header and Footer' window, change the radio selection from 'Fixed' to 'Variable' to enable the drop down lists. 8- Click 'Apply'. 9- (Optional) Close and reopen the file to ensure the date has indeed been inserted. (No need to close and restart Oo) 10- Again select "Insert|Date and Time" 11- In the appearing 'Header and Footer" window, change the format of the date to any other format. 12- Make sure the change has taken effect, then save (Ctrl + S). 13- Close and reopen the file (no need to restart Oo) and you will see that the date format has defaulted back. Bug also occurs for the following languages: - Hebrew - Korean (RoK) - English (Canada) - French (Canada) - Arabic (Saudi Arabia) - Chinese (simplified) - Danish - French (France) - Farsi - Hindi - Italian (Italy) - Spanish (Spain) - Portuguese (Portugal) - Russian Clearly, I have not tried all languages. Interesting Note: Bug does _NOT_ occur if date and time are inserted via "Insert|Fields>Date(variable)" Steps taken were: *- Follow steps 1 thru 5 as mentioned previously. 1- Select "Insert|Fields>Date(variable)" 2- Save (Ctrl + S) 3- (Optional) close and reopen the document to verify the date has indeed been inserted. Take note of the default format used. 4- On the slide itself in the middle window, left click on the inserted date. (The rectangle containing the Date is not selected, in addition to the Date which is now a dark shade of gray) 5- Double click on the date again (The date now turns into a dark shade of green) 6- Right click on the Date text and from the appearing menu choose some other Date format (i.e. try the very last one) 7- Save the document (Ctrl + S) 8- Close and reopen the document - "File|Close" / "File|Open" (No need to restart Oo) 9- Observe that the date has remained as previously modified. It has not defaulted back. Additional Considerations: I suppose the steps mentioned immediately above can serve as a temporary workaround to this issue. The downside to this approach is that it does not allow for selecting another language of choice. In my case I am restricted to English (Canada). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
