Hi, I have several complex corp documents which make OO.o go crazy one way or another. I'd like to report the bugs to get them fixed, but OO.o devs will just ignore me without test documents and there's no way I'll post internal company info in the wild.
I discovered the hard way creating synthetic test cases is a lot of work and usually fruitless as many failures depend on multiple factors in the original documents difficult to reproduce without doing the analysis myself (which I don't have the time of the knowledge to do properly). Anonymising text is not too difficult (regexp search and replace) but what kills me is images and variable/reference names. Is there a way to take an OO.o doc, get all letters replaced with X or x, metadata stripped, embedded images replaced by blanks with the same sizes, and every other names (variables, bookmarks, fields, references, color/style names) anonymized? As most bugs happen on complex documents, most complex documents are created in corp-space and corporations don't like disseminating internal info for debugging purposes I suppose I'm far from the only one with knowledge of bugs but no way to report them.
