------- Additional comments from urttakkadiga...@openoffice.org Sun Oct 18 23:36:19 +0000 2009 ------- My laptop (Lenovo T61 wide screen) hard drive died a month or so ago. It was replaced under warranty from Lenovo, along with the Window OS, but I've been gradually restoring my apps and files. I discovered that I don't have the MSOffice apps, so I installed OpenOffice 3 and have been beginning to use it. I was just using it to write a letter. To my shock, a word I was starting to type was autocompleted with one of my passwords. Navigating through the OO help, I discovered an autocomplete list that included dozens of passwords, along with many URLs I've accessed, login IDs, and other stuff. That function area also included a "collect words" box, apparently checked by default, which I unchecked. I also deleted all the passwords from the list and turned off all the autocorrection I could find. That's bad enough, but where did OpenOffice get those passwords? Many of them I haven't used for years, certainly not since installing OO, and all I can think of is that it found them in some file that I had restored. Does OO, on installation, harvest autocompletion vocabulary from files it seeks out on the machine? I can see doing that for a custom vocabulary list from a spellchecker or a speech recognition program. These may have been in autocompletion files from my old browser installations. I never expected them to show up in a letter. This is dangerous! (I have conservatively chosen priority 3, rather than 2. What happens if typists less attentive than me start sending out passwords in their letters and blog posts? And I have chosen "editing" as the subcomponent, but "open-import" might be appropriated as well. If so, note that I didn't choose what files to open and import vocabulary from.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
