The problem is solved. OOo Calc 3.0.1 OOO300m15 (Build 9379) on Linux stayed
open when I closed the only file whether the file had been either used or not,
both via selecting the Close command from File and by alt-f-c, and that's how it
should work.
On the discussion of why it's a bug: The File menu has both Close and Exit
commands. Usability, or how an application responds to how people actually use
the program and therefore how it should be designed, suggests that Exit and
Close should not behave identically. Exit should get rid of the whole program.
Close should close only the one document but leave the program open for new
work. When I reported the bug, that's how OOo Writer behaved. Calc exited when
merely closing. Writer was right. Calc was wrong. Either one being a module of
OOo doesn't change the usability issue. As OOo increasingly competes with
Microsoft Office, it has to be transparent to people who are not technically
savvy but expect to get their work done, and most users will see Calc and Writer
as separate programs, regardless of the behind-the-scenes structure, because
that's what the applications menu shows the users.
You mention having "only the menu item 'File'". In my installation, after I
closed the only open file, I had 6 menus and the File menu had several available
commands. You might want to review how your installation works and see if
something needs reinstalling.
Thanks.
