Hi, this is the original poster, back again from his salt mines !
More than five years (exactly 1998 days...) after original submission, this
misfeature (rather than bug) has not yet foud a solution, nonwhistanding the
fact that the original submission contained the outline of an easy fix. Various
workarounds have been proposed, non of them being simultaneously compatible with
current use of outline hierarchy (i. e. table of contents generation) and
end-user transparent.
What should I do in order to see some *work* on this issue ? Create multiple
personae and pseudo-voting en masse for this issue ? Mail-bomb developers ?
Troll the mailing lists ? Abduct JS (and SMcN for good measure) and ransom them
to this ?
I even seriously considered to fix it myself, downloaded OOo source code and
started to read. Ouch ! This project is three order of magnitude larger than
anything I ever undertook. Furthermore, I could not delve deep enough in
OpenOffice/ODF specifications to understand where I should aim. Finally, my
development days are way behind me (and my dislike of C++ and Java tend to
increase with time : Im definitely a C/Lisp/R man).
Sorry to make this sound like a rant, but I'd never expect this apparently
simple solution to an everyday problem would take more a few days to solve...
Hoping to see a solution before 3000 days (or, for the least, before I die...).
