------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 8 16:56:24 +0000 2007 ------- Guys, we have to put this in perspective. My point was that 32-bit is just enough for a new limit for the size of a single paragraph. I feel that 32-bit size for a single paragraph is fine. If we try to push for 64-bit, my very good guess is that this issue will get stalled and not resolved in the near future. Since the OOo API for strings uses 32-bit numbers for the size, it appears easier to get 32-bit paragraph sizes. In typesetting terms, it looks like a fringe case to demand from a desktop text editor to handle a single paragraph that consists of more than a volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It looks like a better strategy to focus on getting 32-bit paragraph sizes, because the next option (still 16-bit size but just complain when going over the limit) may not be ideal for the examples shown above. If the string size is 32-bit and you use strings to represent paragraphs, then in order to go to 64-bit paragraph size you need to make too many changes in the program logic, check for regressions, etc, which does not appear to happen. It would make sense to go for 64-bit sizes when the basic data types of OOo are of 64-bit. This might happen in the next years, which would be a more appropriate time to ask for 64-bit paragraphs as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
