------- Additional comments from mux2...@openoffice.org Thu Mar 19 17:30:19 +0000 2009 ------- Steps to reproduce: 0. Open the attached document (macros must be enabled) 1. Make sure that checkbox Tools/Options.../OpenOffice.org Write/View/Notes is checked (Note: The bug is independent of this setting, but the inconsistency between the new Annotation code and the old API is more apparent this way) 2. You'll see a colored line pointing to a „post-it“ note to the right, reading „Dies ist eine Notiz“. 3. Open the Navigator (Edit/Navigator or F5) and expand „Notes“. You'll see the same text „Dies ist eine Notiz“ 4. Press the button in the document. A macro will launch that shows 2 message boxes with the text of the Content property of the annotation textfield, first before and then after changing said property. 5. Confirm the 2 message boxes 6. Compare the „post-it“ note's text and the Navigator's. The Navigator correctly reflects the API's POV (which is also what the second message box prints out). However the post-it note is what is stored when you save the file. 7. Save the file and reopen it. The change to the note has been lost. This means that any program or extension changing the contents of annotations, will experience data loss. This is a very serious issue. Our custom form system depends on annotations. All of the user's entered data is stored in an annotation and will be lost when the user saves the document. I can reproduce the issue under Linux and Windows 2000. Classifying as P2 according to http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify#priority because its a regression and causes data loss in an easy-to-encounter way (at least for the several 1000 users in our organization that use our custom form system that stores its data in annotations) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
