------- Additional comments from kdw1...@openoffice.org Thu Jul 23 16:28:49 +0000 2009 ------- OpenOffice 3.1. Windows XP. Dual monitors. If I click -> Insert -> Indexes and Tables -> Indexes and Tables... The UI acts as if the modal dialog has popped up, but it has NOT. No dialog is visible, and the application no longer accepts input in the main window. The system is fine, I can resize the window, just not type text or commands into it. Only OO is affected-- acting in the same way it would if a modal dialog was displayed. The only thing I can do is kill it via task manger. This exact same thing AT WORK, AND AT HOME, on a different computer, also with WinXP and dual monitor setup. After it happens I can create a brand new text document, open it, and the same thing will happen if only that document is open. After this has happened once, it will continue to happen EVERY TIME I select that menu item / dialog. Although other dialogs will continue to work fine. It will continue for days, several reboots, etc, until finally, it will work again. Occasionally I see the same thing start to happen with a different dialog. Very annoying bug, makes open office entirely unusable. ----------------------------------- UPDATE: After reading the comments, I found that the Alt+Space->Move workaround works. This means the underlying problem is that Open Office 3.1, is opening certain dialogs off screen. Just think how many thousands of people have this problem, don't know how to search the bugs, and then decide they simply cannot use Open Office as a result. Considering that it only happens for certain dialogs, most are being opened differently/correctly. Maybe this will make the fix implementation easier? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
