------- Additional comments from paulwolstenho...@openoffice.org Wed Nov 4 20:29:27 +0000 2009 ------- This issue has resulted in OOo 3.0.1 and 3.1 both failing to support formulae produced according to published techniques. Furthermore, these formulae were supported correctly by earlier versions. In my opinion, software that fails in this way will either be unable to convince users that it is a tool that can be relied upon to get the job done, or alternatively it will lose any credibility that it already has - and it will lose it FAST. Fixing old features that got broken while implementing something else isn't glamourous - and I wouldn't expect it to win popularity contests (such as voting). Faced with a feature that doesn't work, most users would get frustrated and switch to another product rather than fight through an issues reporting system to have it put right (and rightly so given the lack of result I have seen so far). Surely keeping things working reliably should automatically come above implementing new features, regardless of voting? I thought that my posting of Fri Jul 3 04:19:33 would have allowed someone to realise that this bug is a symptom of linked file updates happening at the wrong time and then being able to reproduce that. I'm surprised that it keeps getting put in everyone's 'too hard' basket. Please increase the priority so OOo's reputation doesn't suffer! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
