------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 5 14:17:24 +0000 2007 ------- I understand that this issue is a killer for a few users. But as the defect is in some central code (the old tools String class) fixing it would require to change 90% of OOo's code base (wild guess). Even if we agreed on fixing the problem for Writer (and I'm still not doing this) all other developers are concerned as well. It would took several months in nearly all projects to do the change and fix all warnings and bugs that slip in while doing the change. In the meantime nothing else can be done on the code as the risk to run into merge problems is huge. This would be an effective standstill of development for several months. I still don't see that this is judged by the undeniable benefit for a small percentage of the user base. And especially we can't do it now, in the middle of a lot of work that has already started. So the target is still valid as this means that 3.0 is impossible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
