Well OOo is not a browser app as you know. THe description of the
problem led be to believe that the OP has set his brwoser up improperly;
hence the suggestion. In my own experience, I set my browser to invoke
an instance of OOo on my desktop to separated it from network outages
and finger problems.
So, after all this, I suggest that you enter an Request for Enhancement
(RFE) into Issue
Tracker as this is the best way to have requests such as this evaluated.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
My Pages tab and selecting the Register link
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "My Pages" tab from which you can file and find
issues.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
