------- Additional comments from tony...@openoffice.org Tue Feb 8 12:31:20 +0000 2011 ------- Hi Using the ppa repository for Libreoffice on ubuntu 10.04. On a E-machines laptop, libreoffice installs and works perfectly well, including forms design editing. On my Dell INSPIRON 1011 netbook, again with Ubuntu 10.04, I have the same errors as above !!?? Worse still, I can't even use some of the forms in runtime mode, as for a few, as soon as a text box has some data added, and the return key hit, OpenOffice crashes, and yet it doesn't on my E-machines laptop. I've had to go back to OO 3.2 As an aside, I have tried libreoffice on a WinXp virtual machine I have purged the openoffice install, then to be doubly sure, I then did find . -depth / | grep -i openoffice and deleted any files/folders that were found Then did an apt-get clean all Then added the libreoffice repository Then did an apt-get update Then installed libreoffice from the ppa Again, the issue is solely visible on the netbook running ubuntu 10.04, yet not the laptop, running ubuntu 10.04. I have tried this 3 separate times on my netbook, all to no avail, the same issue is hit everytime. I repeated the above for Fedora Looking around, it appears that other people on other distribution are having similar issues, it's a real shame as it's not the best advert for libreoffice or openoffice, or linux when it happens, especially when the issue doesn't happen on certain other O/S's or hardware. At first I thought it was because the form I designed was a complicated 1, but alas that is not the case. I have since created a simple hsql embedded database, of 1 table, with 3 fields, including an auto increment primary key field. Used the forms wizard to create a form based on that simple table. The form gets created. On the fullsize laptop & PC, libreoffice base woks as it should, however, on 2 separate netbooks, an Elonex webbook, and a Dell inspiron 1011, the Elonex having a VIA C-7M 1600MHz processor, the dell, Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz processor, the following occurs. The forms successfully creates However, when attempting to edit the form., you cannot get the form design toolbar to display, nor the form controls toolbar. Right clicking on a form control, will not allow you to edit the form control. Each of the laptops, and netbooks have Ubuntu 10.04 installed, and fully updated. Also, have Java 6 updates 22 installed, all other versions of java removed. Investigated further, and although the issues are less apparent on the full size laptop & PC, truth is, they are still basically unusable. Although, running better, I noticed that the value from a combo box on 1 form is not being picked up, and yet, the value from a combo box on another form, which was originally a copy of the form that isn't working, works as expected. Also, since attempting top use the failing combo box, I am now in the same position as before, of being unable to edit the form, or more specifically the forms. All of this works exactly as it should in OO 3.2, this release of OO and libreoffice is looking increasingly like a rushed job, and is going to push users back to Windows and MS Office. OO/Libreoffice, has been shipped with a severely broken Base component, rendering Base pretty much unusable. My other concern is, that unless it's fixed, all the other distro's shippping with LibreOffice 3.3 as default, will also in effect be shipping broken packages, which will only render any new linux experiences, less than optimal. Please, please resolve these issues as soon as possible, or at least revert the coding for Base 3.3 back to that of 3.2 To test this out look at http://ostdb.no-ip.org/ and feel free to download what's needed from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensourcetrans/files/ Thanks Tony --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
