One additional response to the comments about the Repair function being the
solution...

It is *insane* to have to a full repair *installation* when the only thing that
I want to change/repair is the file associations. A repair *installation* takes
*minutes*... a repair/reset/modification to file associations would take mere
seconds.

Excuse me? I wasn't the one who suggested using thugs with guns to try to force
the OOo developers to change their software.

Well, if your comment was directed at the person who initially suggested using
the ADA Act to force this issue, you should indicate so (by specifying who you
are addressing as we are doing now). The way it reads, it was directed at my

What exactly do you think happens when government enforces a law?

Every law is enforced at gunpoint, and the ones bearing the guns are thugs,
nothing more nothing less.

You're not serious?

What do you think happens if someone disobeys a law, then disobeys a court order
to obey the law? Someone (or more) comes knocking on their door, and guess what?
They'll be armed to the teeth.

ALL laws are enforced at gunpoint. Just because you don't always see the gun is
irrelevant.

Enjoy living in your fantasy world. Or better yet - pick a law and refuse to
obey it (of course it would have to be a law where someone in power will notice
that you are disobeying it), and let me know how it goes when the enforcers pay
you a visit and you continue to refuse to obey...

I'm done, sorry to everyone else for the OT noise...

I am against any and all government intrusions into the private sector,
regardless of how well-meaning such intrusions may be.

The bottom line is, if I, as a software developer, choose not to cater to the
handicapped, then that is my problem - the worst punishment that I should suffer
is the loss of users that are handicapped.

Give fascists an inch, they'll take the whole damned playing field.

@cornouws

The icon pack is most certainly *not* a 'reasonable solution' to this bug. It is
a hack and workaround that would be a major headache to employ in a corporate
environment and I will *not* be going down that road.

 http://de.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#issuetype

Excuse me sweigel, but just because someone broke something intentionally does
not mean it is not broken.

THESE ICONS ARE BROKEN. PERIOD. AND THAT MAKES THIS A DEFECT.

@mh said:
 no need to have a dispute about issue type and priorities. this topic is
 clearly on the current agenda and will be worked on the public mailing lists.

Please point to JUST ONE example of how the seriousness of this issue is
'clearly on the current agenda and will be worked on the public mailing lists'?

I have not seen even ONE serious statement from any OpenOffice.org developer in
an official capacity, much less anything from Sun/Oracle -and no, comments in
here from someone who may or may not be a developer or employee of Sun/Oracle
don't count. 

@of said:
 Can we get rid of 'community members' who call other people brainless
 f*cker? I'm not willing to work together with such users.

the truth sometimes is painful. While I would not use such language, I agree
with its sentiment. Whoever made this decision should absolutely and
unequivocally be FIRED.

 Remember: We are just talking about icons!

Rotflmao! This actually sounds like something the one who made such a brain-dead
decision would say... so was it you?

@cornouws ssid:
 Hi guys,
 Additional comments on how important this issue is, do not help.

You said that things were changing for the better. I have been waiting
patiently, but have seen no evidence to support your claim.

Sorry, but BP has been doing a better job of handling the Gulf Oil debacle than
Oracle/OOo developers have of handling this screw up with the icons.

How about a FORMAL STATEMENT from someone at Oracle? Or at least from one of the
lead OOo developers?

I have said it before, but I'll now put my money where my mouth is:

I'll wager $1,000 that this issue was 'confirmed by votes' faster than any issue
in the history of OOo's development (40 MINUTES), and that it garnered 100 votes
(less than 5 DAYS), then again 200 votes (a little over one MONTH), faster than
any previous issue as well.

If that doesn't warrant at least a formal statement from someone admitting the
mistake and promising action, then nothing does.

In my opinion it should be a stopper for 3.2.2 release, but when I submitted
this bug for approval to the releases list as a blocker, all I got was a lot of
grief, and was even accused by someone of being a troll...

Maybe if 10 or 50 other people joined the releases list and did the same thing
it would get someone's attention...

@kongnan
Like I said - it is *not* a physical impossibility, it is purely a *political*
decision, and a piss poor one at that.

The fact is, it would only take any half-competent graphics artist an hour to
colorize the new icons. It is the political red tape that is preventing this
from simply happening. What is needed is someone that can make a command
decision without requiring a 'consensus' of some brain dead 'committee'.

And yes - if you hadn't noticed, I loathe politics, and political correctness,
both of which, I'm sorry to say, OOo is massively infected with.

@tommy27
If you read this thread, and my comments, you sill clearly see that most people
do indeed like the new icons *except* for the lack of color.

@cornouws

No offense, and this isn't aimed at you, it is aimed at the politicians
masquerading as software developers:

I don't care how long it took them to redesign these icons, the fact is, they
BLEW IT by going with bw, and whoever's decision this was/is simply is not man
(or woman) enough to admit they made a mistake and fix it. PERIOD. END OF 
SENTENCE.

What infuriates me the most about things like this is how totally unnecessary it
is. The solution is easy:

1. GO BACK TO THE OLD ICONS WITH THE NEXT POINT RELEASE, and

2. Start the process over again for redesigning the icons, taking into account
the fact that bw icons are NOT ACCEPTABLE.

There is absolutely NO reason that the above cannot be done for the 3.2.2
release (much less the 3.3 release), save one: THE DECISION MAKER(S) DON'T CARE.

Well, guess what? As of now, I don't care either.

I am now in the process of working on migrating our entire office over to
KOffice. Since we're on windows, and KOffice isn't entirely stable on windows
yet, it may not be able to happen in the next few months, or even the next year,
but it will happen - unless by some miracle things change drastically with the
OOo development process prior to KOffice being ready for prime time on windows.

So long, OOo devs, and thanks for all the fish!

It is far more important to get the colors back than the get the ODF stamp on 
them.

I don't mind the ODF being there *for ODF files*, but it si far less important
than simply getting the colors back.

Even though I like the older icons less than the design of the new ones, I'd
much rather 3.2.2 simply revert to the old icons, than continue debating on the
newer ones.

The debate on the newer ones can then continue until a reasonable consensus is
reached *that includes a lot of input form users and voters in this bug*.

@cornouws

It is honestly hard to trust it will be fixed, considering the total lack of
response here in the Issue Comments from any OOo developers, in spite of the
fact that this issue has accumulated 105 votes in just 5 days, and was
'confirmed by votes' in 40 *minutes* (both of which must be records).

Do a query on all open issues with more than 100 votes. Then go read all of the
comments for some of them.

The fact is, the OOo development process doesn't really care what those of us in
the OOo user community want or think. I'm not saying all of the *developers* are
like that, but the *process* *creates* *the* *condition* - and now we have these
shiny new politically correct 'icons' we are now stuck with for ... how long?
Only time will tell.

Not to mention the fact that the issue with the most votes currently (468) is
8.5 years old, still marked as 'NEW', and to add insult to injury, is *already*
*fixed* (in the go-oo code base).

Shall I bring up the fact that there is still no true OOo community as was
promised by Sun from day one, just a Sun (now Oracle?) dictatorship?

Trust is something that must be earned, and the OOo developercommunity process
has not earned much of anyone's trust, and for good reason.

I like them prowler, and would vote to hire you to do the rest, post links to
all of the OOo lists asking for feedback about these vs the 'new' blackj and
white ones - and just apply the changes immediately once the majority of people
gave a thumbs up (as they would, I am 100% sure)...

Then I'd do what other open source projects have done - have an open *contest*
where *anyone* can submit designs for new icons, post links everywhere, and let
the OOo user base vote on them.

I think the main point though is, these icons should *never* have been changed
like this without a *lot* of inquiries on the user lists and elsewhere,
consulting with usability experts - who would have, of course, nixed the idea of
colorless icons in a microsecond.

[framework-issues] [Issue 112256] icon for doc files have o df logo

I have seen the same problem, but since I have been forbidden from installing
3.2.1 on any of our (60+) computers by the owner of the company until the lack
of colr for the icons is fixed, and I already downgraded my own, I cannot
confirm with any precision at the moment, but, if memory serves, this particular
problem, with the 'ODF' showing on MS .doc, .xls and .ppt files, was only for
Domain users that did not have Local Admin rights - our users have Power User
Rights, not Admin. Power Users is only one small step down from full Admin
Rights though, so shouldn't matter...

I'll confirm this on a test PC in the morning and report back exactly how to
replicate the problem.

2 things:

1. I really like the new *patterns* on the new icons.

2. The monochromatic aspect has *got* to go.

3. What is up with the 'ODF' label on NON-ODF MICROSOFT file formats (.doc,
.xls, .ppt, etc)? That is not just ugly, it is plain *wrong*.

I hope the devs are reading this bug report, as I have been forbidden by my boss
(when I showed this to him this morning) from installing this update on any of
our 60+ windows workstations until this is fixed, which sucks because that means
we don't get any new bug fixes or functionality enhancements until then, and as
slow as OOo has been to make changes, this might be a while.

Please, guys, you changed these in a minor revision bump, you can bring back the
different colors in 3.2.2, can't you? Like I said in #1 above, I really do like
the new icons *except* for the lack of color.

Oh, and what is up with making a major change like this in a minor update
revision? I thought that was a big no-no in software development?

I see the status of this was just changed to Whiteboard...

If this means there is actually work going on toward producing something along
the lines of a FAM, then:

1. thanks!

and

2. is it possible that, since I opened the request and this functionality is a
huge personal concern, that I could participate?

Oh - one other comment - most Windows machines already have .doc files
associated with wordpad or notepad... so instead of OOo taking over this
association, it leaves them associated with wordpad... brilliant...

If I hadn't discovered the command-line switches available at install time, my
boss would have switched our entire 80 user base to MSO... as it is, he still
really wants to be able to manage these through the GUI - as do I...

Ok, this problem just bit me again after a major editing session on some of our
templates, but this time I am being QUADRUPLE prompted for the fields! :(

This bug shows as being 'STARTED', but with a milestone of 'later'.

This problem has got to be bogger than just me...

Is there any interest in these templates, or is the problem known, but the fix a
lot of work?

Please, someone (dev), comment and let me know whats up.

Thanks...

I really, really need to be able to have multiple/optional page styles that can
be applied, depending on the status of the document...

For example, I want to have a page style for 'REVISED', and one for 'CANCELLED',
that apply different watermark backgrounds when applied.

But currently there is no way to do this if you have any fields in either the
header or footer, unless you're willing to suffer with massive multiple prompts
for the same fields.

Please, please, someone tell me this problem is fixable, or that someone cares.

The silence is deafening...

Again... HOW DO I MANAGE THESE FILE ASSOCIATIONS NOW?

Example:

When someone installs the Compatability Pack for Office 2007, it takes over all
file associations, even for normal .doc, etc files)...

With 2.x, this was no problem... simply do a repair install and let OOo take
back the file associations.

Now, I can't even do this.

This absolutely and purely SUCKS.

I absolutely agree that data loss should never happen, and at worst, if a
condition exists that would result in data loss is encountered, an appropriate
error should be provided.

I also agree that, if possible, the calc implementation should be better, if
there are limitations in the way Excel does it that can be addressed...

But, regardless of making it 'better', we need basic functionality *now*.

I am already fighting what appears to be a losing battle with the management
here to roll out MSO for everyone. The only real reason they haven't done so yet
is the cost... but the louder the users yell about 'Office can do all these
things that OOo can't!', the less of a reason the cost becomes.

This issue is one of the biggest complaints we have right now about Calc...

And now I have to contend with the TOTAL loss of any way to manage file
associations (admittedly this is an admin (meaning, MINE) problem rather than an
end user problem, but it is a serious one...

 Now OOo will automatically take over the MSO file extensions in case no
 application at all is registered for them and it will automatically not
 take them over in case there is an application registered.
 
 I think that makes a lot of sense.

I agree - to a point. And if you will read this Feature Request, you will see
that this is exactly how I had envisioned this working - with the addition that,
since OOo is CAPABLE of doing this evaluation, AND because it is capable of
making the necessary registry changes, then it only makes sense that this
functionality should be made available in such a way as to be EASILY MANAGED.
Meaning, RECORD the CURRENT registry settings PRIOR to making the changes, and
provide a simple mechanism for MANAGING these registry settings.

 Removing configuration options where the application is able
 to handle that itself reasonably is basically a good idea.

I agree...

 Especially if data is available that proofs that the configuration
 setting is misunderstood by many users.

Again I agree...

 I also understand that expert users might want to configure
 this by themselves differently. This is a valid request, though
 IMHO not one with a high priority.

I disagree - VEHEMENTLY.

While I would agree if the functionality were not ALREADY THERE, removing
EXISTING functionality - in essence, DUMBING DOWN an application - just because
the WAY it is currently implemented is confusing to SOME users, is totally
RIDICULOUS.

 Perhaps someone can provide this as an extension?

That would be perfectly acceptable, but the main problem that I have with this
is THE FUNCTIONALITY ALREADY EXISTS. Why should someone else have to reinvent
the wheel?

Just to be clear...

I don't have a problem with the fact that the ability to choose the file
associations at install time was removed.

I have a problem with the fact that NO MECHANISM WAS PROVIDED TO TAKE THE PLACE
OF THIS LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.

At a minimum, the devs THEMSELVES - specifically, the one(s) that arbitrarily
and unilaterally decided to remove this CRITICAL functionality should do it NOW.
IMMEDIATELY.

Am I pissed? VERY. Why? BECAUSE WHOEVER DID THIS JUST CAUSED OUR BOSS TO DECIDE
TO SWITCH TO MSO IF THIS IS NOT FIXED PRIOR TO OUR UPGRADING TO VERSION 3.0.

So, if this isn't fixed, OOo just lost an 80+ installed base, just because some
dev somewhere decided they knew better than the people actually USING OOo.

Personally, I see no reason to reinvent the wheel.

How does the evil alternative do it? Do it that way, at least at first. If there
is room for improvement, improve it, but lets just get it done. This one issue
has been driving a movement to replace Openoffice on all 55+ of our PCs with
MSO, and I'd really like to NOT see that happen. I've been putting people off
with 'its coming in an upcoming release' for a while now, because there was a
patch and it appeared to have been accepted into the codebase, but I'm very
disturbed to find out thats not the case.

 @tanstaafl: you should get acquainted with the release schedule
 (see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease30 )

Ok...

 before accusing, let alone insulting, anyone.

I didn't 'accuse' or 'insult' anyone my friend - and I don't think I was even
rude - I simply pointed out a somewhat painful fact.

 Code freeze for OOo3.0 already passed some time ago

Well, not *that* long ago... 4 months (April 2008), according to the link you
provided.

So... code freeze happened in April 2008, and the patch for this functionality
was originally uploaded in May of *2007* - 9 *months* (almost a full *year*)
before the code freeze, and 8 *months* before the feature freeze. Not only that,
according to this thread, it was integrated in ooo-build in October of 2007, a
full 6 *months* before the code freeze.

So, how much time, exactly, do the devs need before merging a patch into the
official build that has as many votes as this one has, *and* has a *working
patch* that someone was willing to write to implement it?

 and only show stoppers are being fixed now. Yes, this patch should had
 been reviewed and maybe integrated earlier, but now it is too late for OOo3.0

Too late because the OOo devs are extremely unresponsive to user requests for
features they (the devs) don't deem 'important', *even when a patch is 
provided*.

This (the official OOo devs being slow and often unresponsive to accept patches
from 'outside' devs) is a well known fact, and the primary reason that Novell
started the go-ooo offering.

Don't shoot the messenger... maybe your time would be better spent *listening*.

I'm a *long* time OOo user - 7+ years in fact (we used Staroffice 5.2 before
changing to a pre 1.0 version of Openoffice.org) - and Admin who rolls it out on
all 60+ machines in our office - and I *do* appreciate very much the effort
involved with developing and providing OOo - but there is also a very large
level of frustration with OOo development (see above).

You must have missed my prior comment...

THE REPAIR OFTEN FAILS. PERIOD.

Also, the KLUDGE of 'fixing' them by 'right-click', 'Open-with', check box
'Always use this program...' simply does not work for all situations. One MAJOR
issue is with TEMPLATES. If I do this for a template, it then OPENS templates
just as if it were a normal document, instead of creating a new blank document
BASED on the template.

Also, with this as part of the GUI, it would be very easy to not only repair
file associations, but to RESET THEM TO WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE OOo WAS INSTALLED.

Of course - all I can do is beg someone who is in a position to do something
about this to see the value... it is just very frustrating to know that this
problem - which is a very major hassle when it rears its ugly head - could be so
easily fixed, if the ones who know how to fix it would simply create a simple UI
to let us lowly users do it with a mouseclick or two...

I am totally baffled at why anyone would be against this - it would only

[installation-issues] [Issue 77257] File Association Manager f or Windows version

Hello, and thanks for taking the time to consider my comments...

The 'File Association Repair' only *attempts* to reset them - it does not
check/repair permissions if the perms on the registry settings that store them
get muffed, nor does it report a failure to properly set them if it fails - and
this has happened to me at least 4 or 5 times in the years that I have been
using OOo.

I'm *not* saying that it was OOo that muffed them - but I *am* saying that if
they can be repaired manually (by changing perms), then they can be repaired
automatically (as long as the repair attempt is run by a user with admin 
rights).

There is no reason that a properly coded FAM couldn't test if current user has
admin rights, and if so, it is 'enabled' in the GUI - if not, it is greyed out,
with a message saying that this functionality requires being logged in as a user
with admin rights.

If the User has admin rights, then the FAM could easily test if required
registry settings exist - if not, create them - then test if the perms on them
are correct - if not, reset them - then, change the File Associations to
whatever the user is requesting.

Of course, if the filesystem itself is corrupted, then there is nothing that OOo
can or should do about that, except maybe provide an error message to this 
effect.

Lastly, I have had a *lot* of cases where I would like to be able to easily
switch back and forth the Microsoft Office associations between MSO (or whatever
they were set to before the OOo install) and OOo (including proper Template
behavior) - but OOo doesn't record their previous state, so there is no way to
do this.

Providing this ability directly in the GUI preferences will only instill a new
level of confidence with people who want to test OOo out side by side with MSO.

Repair did not work...

There is absolutely no reason why OOo should not be able to manage these
associations after it is installed.

My problem apparently was caused by permissions problems on the registry
settings. My argument is, if these can be fixed manually, by changing the
permissions, there is no reason that an OOo FAM could not *also* handle
permissions problems - again - as long as the User had Full Admin Rights...

 When you install OOo on Windows you are usually
 doing this for all users. Then the setup application
 registers the file associations for all users.

Yes - all of which is exactly how the FAM would/should work...

 The file association manager in OOo will not be able to
 access these settings!

Eh? Why not? Oh - re-reading my original post, I didn't make it clear that this
functionality would only be available if the user trying to make use of it was
logged on with Admin Rights... this is obvious, so I didn't specifically mention
it...

 Instead of this it will try to set something for the current user.
 This will rather screw up things than fix them.

Not if they are logged on with Admin Rights - and again, there is no reason that
 OOo couldn't simply detect this, and display a message (that this functionality
requires being logged n as a User with Full Admin Rights) if a User who does not
have full Admin Rights tries to access the FAM...

 A file association manager inside OOo does not make sense at all and
 especially on Vista is a No-No.

It makes *perfect* sense, due to its nature (a full Office Suite that has the
ability to take over File Associations of another Office Suite) - even in 
Vista...

As I said - I do understand that this ability must be limited to a User who is
logged in with Administrative Rights, and that changes affect all users (just as
they do at install time).

Again, not *one* argument I have ever heard against having a File Associations
Manager built into OOo makes any sense to me...

Why not? That is a silly statement, anyway - the Multi-User Installer *itself*
*requires* Admin Rights... so why is *that* ok, but not to have a related
function that also requires it?

Besides - if OOo can be installed as an ordinary user, then it can manipulate
file associations as that ordinary user in the same way. It does so *now*,
doesn't it?

This isn't rocket science... it is very simple... OOo allows for installation on
a Windows machine in two different modes: Multi-user (requires Admin Rights) or
for Single User.

If OOo can correctly set the file associations at install time, for each of
these two modes, it should be able to MANAGE these changes as well.

It should be smart enough to know *how* it was installed (as an Admin, for 'All
Users', or as a normal user, only for that user). The FAM should then behave in
accordance with how it was installed - meaning:

1. If it was installed by an Admin in Multi-user mode, then it should require
Admin rights to manipulate File Associations - just like it requires Admin
Rights to install/uninstall it.

2. If it was installed in Single-User mode, then the FAM should behave
accordingly (however OOo handles single user installation File Association
modifications currently).

Hello,

I know that there have been a few discussions about this, and that some people
have strong feelings that this is something that OOo should not do, but I want
to make my *strong* argument in favor it, so I would appreciate it if you would
take the time to read this in its entirety.

I am taking the time to create this Issue/Enhancement Request after being bitten
by this problem *again*. It has happened to me at least 5 or 6 times in the
years I've been using OOo, and, although it doesn't happen very often, when it
does, the ony way I have found to fix it is to reinstall Windows, and, in my
opinion, this is just not acceptable.

Recently I again had a problem where OOo lost its file associations - for its
*own* file types, not MSO file types - and nothing I did was able to repair
them. A reinstall/repair of windows, does, however, every time.

First - the usual recommended method of 'right-click, open with...' is totally
unusable for me anyway, because it will not work for the Template file
associations - when templates are re-associated this way, from that point on,
OOo will not treat them as it should treat templates (copy contents of template
into new blank document, initiate prompt for input fields), it just opens them,
as if I had right-clickopened them.

All this functionality would have to do is:

1. Reset the file associations for all OOo file types (including templates) so
that they work properly with OOo,

(since OOo currently is capable of properly associating its own files upon
installation, it should be trivial to add a button somewhere in the Preferences
(maybe on the 'General' prefs, or could even be on its own - I am attaching a
screenshot of how it could look on the 'General' prefs) that would simply
re-associate all of the OOo file types with OOo)

2. If the user elects *not* to allow OOo take over the file associations for MSO
files at install time, provide a button that takes them over - and records their
current settings as per #3 below - just as if the user had elected to let OOo
take them over at install time, if the user later decides they like OOo enough
to do so,

3. If the user elects *to allow* OOo to take over the file associations for MSO
files at install time (or does so per #2), record the current file associations,
so that the user can easily reverse the settings if desired,

4. Provide a simple interface (see attached screenshot for an example of how
simple this interface could be) that allows the user to do #1 anytime it may
become necessary, and a way to switch MSO file associations back and forth
(between being associated with OOo, and what they were before/when OOo was
installed).

It would also be very nice if these file associations could be set on a per-user
basis, but I don't know if that is even possible in Windows.

Thanks for listening...

Charles

Are there any plans on implementing this? I cannot believe this issue has been
around this long.

This one thing KILLED a migration I had begun for one of my clients - as soon as
the owner of the company ran into this, he threw up his hands, and killed the
project - at least for now.

Please, please, please - this is such a pain in the butt, and should be so easy
to fix...

This is a strange one...

The issue is, once the bug is triggered, whenever you initiate the prompt for
Input Fields (either using 'ctrl-shift-F9' or when dbl-clicking on a template),
it prompts for all of the fields, then does it AGAIN - so, prompts for all of
the fields TWICE. Interestingly, deleting ALL of the Input Fields from both the
Header and Footer results in all of the Fields still being prompted for (even
though there are none there), but this time only once.

What I did to reproduce it was:

1. Modify the 'Default' Page Style of the newly created document to contain
Headers and Footers, then place Input Fields into them. Save it.

2. Create a new Page Style based on the 'Default' (which should be the current
selection) by using the 'New Style from Selection' option in 'Styles and
Formatting'  'Page Styles'.

3. Apply the newly created Style by dbl-clicking it.

4. Initiate the prompt for Input Fields ('ctrl-shift-F9').

5. You should be dbl-prompted for the fields.

NOTE: this bug does NOT trigger (at least it didn't for me) if you create the
Page Styles you want to use and apply them BEFORE you add the Input Fields to
the Header/Footer.

In other words, it should be reproducible by simply copying the 'Default' page
style to a custom one, then changing the current Page Style to the newly created
custom one.

I will attach three sample documents (templates are affected the same way), one
that doesn't exhibit the bug (before I changed the Page Styles), one that DOES
exhibit the bug (AFTER I changed the Page Styles), and one that I deleted ALL of
the Input Fields from AFTER the bug was triggered, which still prompts for all
of the Input Fields, but this time only once.

I have not been able to 'fix' a document once the bug is triggered. In fact,
deleting EVERYTHING in a broken document results in ALL of the Input Fields that
WERE there being prompted for ONCE.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!

Please, PLEASE don't put off fixing this GLARING defect until 2.2 milestone.

The simple fact is, we are now stuck on 2.0.2 until this is fixed, and if this
is put off until 2.2, I think our boss will be inclined to just bite the bullet
and buy Microsoft Office for all 50 of our computers.

There is absolutely ZERO reason that this cannot be fixed for 2.1. It USED to
work, and was BROKEN.

Anyone who uses input fields on forms will be in the same boat as we are.

This is bad, bad, BAD.

My apologies for 'crying' here... but if you only knew how hard this hit us...

Being relegated to using 2.0.2 for the next 6+ months because of this one small
bug that most likely is easily fixed is not something I want to have to try to
sell my boss on. It was hard enough to get him to be ok waiting for 2.1 (2
months?), once I was able to get this bug 'accepted', verified, and targeted.
The fact is, there are a lot of people here in the office that look for any
excuse to push for a switch to Microsoft Office - I'm sure you are familiar with
the type...

It is because OOo has worked 'good enough' that the boss has been ok with
staying with it (we've been using it since about 1.0.3). This is the first real
painful bug that we have experienced - but for some people, that is all it 
takes.

Anyway, my main concern is to keep the boss happy - but when he comes to me and
asks why he is still on 2.0.2, after reading about the speed improvements with
2.1+, and I have to tell him its because if I upgrade him, his Forms won't work
right - well, that's just a conversation I'd rather avoid, if you get my 
meaning...

Actually, with a document created by Word 2003, I can't get the statistics to
show up properly even after editing it in OOo (2.0.4, Windows XP Pro sp2
w/updates)...

The word/character counts always show zero, and the paragraph count always 
shows 1.

If I save the document as .odt, the statitstics then show properly.

To reproduce:

1. Create a document with some test words/paragraphs in Word 2003 - save it.

2. Open with OOo 2.0.4... check statistics.

3. Update, close stats dialog, make changes, re-open stats dialog - no change,
stats all wrong as explained above.

4. 'File'  'Save As'  .odt...

5. Open stats, click update - stats all correct.

I don't have Word 2000, so cannot confirm your particular behavior...

According to the Document Properties in Word 2003, both of these files were
originally Microsoft Word 5.0/5.1 for Macintosh Document, which are, I
believe, not supported file types.

Ack! 2.1 ?!

I really cannot imagine that this is that big of a deal to fix, since it is a
regression, but maybe I'm mistaken...

This is very, very sad for our entire company. It means we are stuck at 2.0.2
until OOo 2.1 is released, which will be... when? I cannot find the roadmap
anywhere...

I imagine anyone else that uses Input Fields on forms is in the same boat now.

And in case the developers are listening - just because there aren't a lot of
votes for this issue does NOT mean that it isn't affecting them. Most people
cannot even figure out how to log into the bug reporter, much less figure out
how to search for this one and actually find it.

I imagine this is affecting a LOT of people.

:(

Not as sad as I was when I didn't know when 2.1 was due for release. I guess I
understand that only so many bugs can be fixed in a limited amount of time...
but it is definitely frustrating when one of the open bugs is one that affects
you personally... ;)

I do wish OOo was structured such that interim patches for things like this
could be released, so that I could still install the newer versions and then
apply the patch.

Oh well, I am very happy that this is at least confirmed now, and targeted for
fix at 2.1 release.

Many thanks to the devs!

Charles

To fs: It is not just a focus issue...

The cursor is about half-way down the input box, and you cannot move it up to
the top. If it was just a focus issue, you'd be able to simply hit the backspace
key to move the cursor to the top of the field.

Are you saying that if you enter data with the cursor like this, it is saved? If
so, that is definitely different behavior than I am experiencing.

What version of Windows are you using?

Sorry, guess I should have done that immediately, but it is so easy to duplicate
(just create a Template with more than one Input Field on it), I didn't even
think about it.

Anyway, the Template I just uploaded is a generified version of our Faxcover.
This one only has 4 Input Fields on it, but we have some Templates with 20 or
more, and this problem gets exponentially worse the more fields you use.

Many, many thanks for taking the time to confirm this and hopefully getting a
fix in.

Interesting - so apparently it is a Windows only bug.

I have confirmed this behavior on about 20 of the computers in our office (every
one that I had already upgraded to 2.0.3).

They are all running Xp Pro sp2, with most if not all security patches applied.

Also, I have tested with the Sun JVM 1.5_Update_06, Update_07, and Update_08...

Thanks again! If there is anything I can do to assist you, please don't hesitate
to ask.

I'm very disappointed... this bug isn't even marked as confirmed, much less
fixed in RC2...

I'm no longer holding out much hope that it will get fixed for 2.0.4 (since it's
not even marked as confirmed), which means I will have no choice but to revert
everyone to 2.0.2 until it DOES get fixed.

Very disappointing indeed. This is the first serious bug that I have ever
encountered with OOo, that is apparently being completely ignored by the 
developers.

A serious userland issue like this - especially one that is most likely a very
simple fix - shouldn't require lots of votes just to get the attention of a
developer. The fact is, this bug makes OOo look VERY BAD to people who try to
use simple Input fields on their forms.

Many, many thanks!!

I'm very glad to hear that someone is going to be looking at this...

But when you say 'in the next 2.0.4', do you mean the fix probably won't make it
into 2.0.4 final? I hope that isn't what you meant, but if so, as long as it
will get fixed by 2.0.5, I guess I'll survive...

Thanks again!

[framework-issues] [Issue 69612] 2.0.4 RC2/Sun provided bui ld calls home without asking

I'm confused... I saw a mention that this existed somewhere in 2.0.3, but I
don't see it anywhere, nor in the help.

Is this an actual online update feature? Or is this *solely* a *notification*
feature.

If the former, then this will be very welcome, once the bugs have been worked
out, and I'll be happy to test it in our office and provide feedback.

However, if this is *only* a *notification* feature, then I really don't see
what all the fuss is about. Just a simple notification about the auto-update
feature before the install, along with a way to turn it off, should suffice, but
I surely don't see why this should hold up the release of 2.0.4.

I'm much more concerned that simple UI bugs, like
[url=http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69612]this one[/url], get
fixed (still not even marked as confirmed, much less fixed in 2.0.4rc2). This
has been plaguing our office since we updated to 2.0.3, and I have heard many
loud complaints about how that other office application doesn't have problems
like this from those who complained the loudest when we took the other one away.

Well, that didn't work too well - why can I not post hyperlinks in these issues?

Anyway, in my haste, I copied the wrong issue, and now I can't change it? The
bug I meant to refer to is 66990 - the one where input fields on forms are
BROKEN, BROKEN, BROKEN. The first fields works fine, but from then on, you have
to switch between mouse and keyboard for every one, which is more than just
irritating for forms that have lots of fields on them.

Anyway, I really hope that this gets fixed in 2.0.4, otherwise I'm going to have
to revert 40+ machines to 2.0.2, and I am not relishing that thought.

Confirmed here too...

This is a pretty inconvenient one too. I didn't catch this before upgrading
about 40 computers over a weekend.

Also, this still isn't fixed in 2.0.4rc2.

Is this planned to be fixed in 2.0.4 final? If not, I'm going to have to roll
some of our boxes back to 2.0.2 until it is fixed.

Otherwise, many thanks for OOo - it has really saved us a lot of money in our
small office!
