Dear Sir / Madam, my name is Czesław Wolański. I devote some of my spare time mainly to doing translation of AOO UI into Polish (L10n), but you might have noticed increasing activity on my part in terms of reporting issues/bugs to Bugzilla (recent months).
This report is sort of follow-up to Issue 128329 "AOO Draw - irreparable?" I filed to Bugzilla. https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128329 In "Comment 1" to it (made by Peter) you may read: "*An email to dev@openoffice.apache.org <dev@openoffice.apache.org> would be the right approach for this particular issue. Have you tried to reset the profile? If this helps please put more research in this, Corrupted Profile is one of the issues which are really annoying.[...]*" So I have "put more research in this". It seems that undocking Page Pane and redocking it at the top of document window may lead to glitches in AOO Draw. Resetting User Profile fixes the problem. My configuration: - Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, PL - Apache OpenOffice 4.1.7 AOO417m1(Build:9800) - Rev. 46059c9192 2019-09-03 12:04 Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_Win_x86_install_pl (full installation, PL) Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.7_Win_x86_langpack_en-US (language pack, English(US)) I have run test procedure a dozen or so times. After each test, I resetted User Profile ( path: %AppData%\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user ) or changed the name of folder "OpenOffice" in %AppData%\Roaming\ Please take a look at my documentation: - video "HowToWTF", available at the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14xm4x1mehtxvXo1_7ueUq5EE_uwuPSfa - information on configuration, file "Infos", available at the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QfIbjoKIMELTpQHUJY3_mSUtv_6MrKkg - screenshots of glitches, file "DrawGlitches", available at the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eAsv5gvWrR35PGAJrx6fOyD8c3l18JDM And some additional remarks: 1. I my report to Bugzilla I wrote: "Recently I have subjected AOO Draw to harsh tests (multiple docking/redocking of Page Pane, Navigator, Color Replacer and Color Bar in various combinations). In tests observed many glitches. Finally AOO crashed." I am not a hundred percent sure that the reason for glitches and crash I mentioned in that report is the same I present here. 2. In above mentioned file "DrawGlitches" you may see two examples of start screen in AOO Draw. A few times I saw nothing worrying, but when I repeated docking/undocking and/or hiding/showing Page Pane and then closed and opened AOO Draw again, the glitch appeared. 3. Every time I reset User Profile, run AOO and finish registration process, AOO shows Start Center window not maximized. Next time I run AOO, Start Center window is maximized. 4. And last but definitely least: while watching attached video you'll surely notice how cluttered my Desktop is. I am fighting that mess on end, but the more I try to declutter Desktop, the more it gets cluttered ("mischievous inanimate nature"). Shall you have any questions, please contact me. With regard, Czesław Wolański
