------- Additional comments from bmarce...@openoffice.org Fri Aug 6 13:07:13 +0000 2010 ------- This bug appears in all OpenOffice versions (tested on 1.1.5, 3.1.1, 3.2.1) but I could not find an Issue describing it. If, in a Basic program, you happen to declare a Public variable of the same name as one of your modules, or a Sub of the same name, Basic behaves strangely. Because Basic uses the names of the Basic modules as predefined variables. In practice this collision is bound to happen on complex programs with several modules and many Subs and variables, because you sometimes lack of imagination. The consequence is a huge loss of time to identify the reason of the incomprehensible behaviour of your complex program. Next attachment shows, in a very simplified form, different consequences of the bug. Bear in mind that in real cases codes are much more complex, and for that reason this issue should be corrected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
