------- Additional comments from timveldhui...@openoffice.org Fri May 7 19:53:36 +0000 2010 ------- I would like this issue to be reopened. Please allow me to describe what just happened: 1. I was working on a drawing.. 2. I open calc and read some data from the spreadsheet. 3. No longer needing the spreadsheet, I click File and Exit. 4. "Hey, where is my drawing?" 5. Looking on the taskbar: "what the h*ll happened to my drawing?" 6. "Damn, version 3.2 is still THAT unstable?!" IMHO it is rather odd to implement File-->Exit and File-->Close the way they are now. No matter what you think about it, I (and many, many people with me) consider it a bug. And I think it rather stubborn to keep it working this way even after so many people reporting this issue. Please just do a search for "file exit" issues and take a quick look through the titles of the issues that come up. Please realise the vast majority considers this a bug (or a crash even!!). To be honest, I was quite surprised that version 3.2 contained such basic errors (yes I also thought it a crash of the framework) and after learning that this bug was actually a "feature", I was completely baffled that version 3.x still contains such questionable UI design. Clearly all those people reporting this issue can't be wrong! And if you absolutely MUST have it your way, then for heavens sake make it a setting, but please fix this thing. It just looks like a bunch of amateurs hacking away on OOo the way it works now. Yes, it almost looks like it is a bug (some kind of crash) that noone seems to be able to fix somehow. Imagine someone making a suite of media players in which a piece of music would be played in an other window than a movie would. So you are playing some music, then opening your movie player, starting the dvd, and then closing the music player because you no longer need it. Would you want the movie player window to close too? Why not? It comes with the same set of applications. Would you want to close all virtual machine windows when you shut down one instance? Why not? It is the same application even! Sorry for going on and on about it, but I'm trying to make it clear how little sence it makes the way it is implemented now. Please fix it. Anyway.. Here's a suggestion: Rename the current "Exit" menuitem to "Close all OOo windows" and make a new Exit at the bottom that only closes the window from which the user opened the File menu. The way the "Close" menu item works now (a blank background in a generic OOo window with an option to create a new document of any supported type) is fine with me. I hardly ever use that function anyway, but it seems more sensible than closing the window entirely. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
