--- Comment #7 from Malachi Constant <idontmindspamatthisaddr...@gmail.com> ---
I apologize if my comment appeared to be soliciting any special treatment. I am
an advocate of open source software, and when I say this bug will make me
switch from LibreOffice if it is not fixed soon, I do not say so glibly.

In open source, the opinions and preferences of the developers tend to drive
the priorities, and I'd say rightly so. However, the users have to matter too.
After all, who else does the whole operation exist for?

What I'm saying here is that I'm patient, I understand there is other work to
be done, and I still believe in the LibreOffice project. However, I can only
endure so much interruption to my work before I give up and say I've had
enough. It's crazy-making.

By expressing this sentiment here, I'm letting it be known that there is one
more user who feels this way. If enough users feel the same, an open source
project ought to be responsive to it. Otherwise, you might consider that you
really are fulfilling the worst stereotypes of rigid, delicate-egoed open
source ideologues.

But, fine, perhaps commenting about it on the bug tracker does nothing toward
getting the bug fixed. I'd like to try to fix it myself, but I don't have the
coding chops, and I know nothing of LibreOffice's code base and its development
practices.

Even though I'm in a position to get an MS Office license for $10, I'll pony up
$50 as a bounty to get this bug fixed. I'm sure LibreOffice has given me at
least that much in value over the years. Just let me know who at the Document
Foundation I have to get in touch with to make it happen.
