--- Comment #53 from Lars Jødal <l...@rn.dk> ---
I have changed the "Severity" field from "minor" to "normal".
It is definitely more than just a minor nuisance, and those of us experiencing
the bug may consider it major, but it seems that we are only a minority of
users experiencing (or noticing?) the bug, so I kept at "normal".
In any case, let's remember that LO is a project mostly performed by
volunteers, and however a given bug is flagged, it is only fixed if somebody
does fix it. With Bugzilla we have a flexible system for reporting bugs and
providing examples. (If there is something similar for commercial systems like
MS Office, I am not aware of it.) As I saw regarding some other bug that was
very annoying to a user, a user has the following options after reporting a
bug:
1. Fix it yourself. After all, the code is freely available, and volunteers
fixing bugs are how most bugs are fixed.

2. Convince someone to fix it. Works best if you happen to know a programmer
who is already doing work on LO.
3. Pay somebody to fix it. If you or your company have the money for it, there
are professional developers that fix LO bugs, incorporating the fix into the
mainline so everybody can benefit from the fix.

4. Wait.
As for myself, I am not into the LO code, knows nobody personally who is, and
do not have the money for hiring somebody to do the job. So I attempt to make
good bug reports with easy-to-reproduce examples (when possible), and then
settle for option 4. It can be annoying when the bug or enhancement request is
important to me, but that is my option. And it does not stop me from being
thankful that LO is there at all - in some cases with better features than MSO,
in other cases with not quite as good features, but in all cases free to use if
I want it.
