Summary: Length limits for titles in the bibliographic records
are too tight
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.3 release
Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: jacobsallans...@gmail.com
Setting limits of this kind is an engineering trade off. The limit for titles
is 50 bytes. Surely, the limits should be long enough to contain the examples
in the "Writer Guide".
The sample bibliography in Chapter 12 "Tables of Contents, Indexes, and
Bibliographies" uses four examples. Of the titles there, one: "A Conceptual
Guide to OpenOffice.org 2 for Windows and Linux" is too large and a second
"Learn OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet Macro Programming" is at the limit of 50
characters.
Follow the following steps:
Tools->Bibliographic Database
Insert->Record
Enter an identifier: GUR00
Enter an author: Gurley, Gabriel
Enter the title: A Conceptual Guide to OpenOffice.org 2 for Windows and Linux
Enter a year: 2000
Tab past the last field
File->Close Window
An error dialog appears with a message reading:
"The string 'A Conceptual Guide to OpenOffice.org 2 for Windows and Linux'
exceeds the maximum length of 50 characters when converted to the target
character set 'utf-8'."
