If you are willing to attach your 350-page book to the bug report, and
if you can tell us what to do to see the slowdown, then a bug report
is the way to go.  Remember, of course, that attachments to a bug
report are available to the whole world; you may not want to do that.
If you do file a bug report, please add me lo_b...@iseries-guru.com
to the cc.

I do not know how bad a performance regression must be to count as a
bug.  Discussion on the developer list, New test to automatically
importing all bugzilla documents
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/New-test-to-automatically-importing-all-bugzilla-documents-td4038484.html,
shows some interest in tracking these things.  Guidance, anyone?

Terry.

Maybe a search-and-replace of all alphanumerics with the a single letter would 
yield a test document that exhibited the symptoms but could be released 
publicly. (Though maybe not, some things such as spell checking and 
autocomplete would act differently).

[tdf-discuss] Bug (??) Table deletion in Writer 4.0.2.2

2013-05-08 Thread foberle
Hi: 

I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 and recently updated LibreOffice to 4.0.2.2, and 
I hope I've been sending these reports to the right place. 

Today I attempted to delete a table, which I have always done by placing the 
cursor in the table, then using the menu sequence Table | Delete | Table but 
when I tried to do that with 4.0.2.2, and chose the Table | Delete menu 
option, everything was greyed out and I couldn't do it. I ended up selecting 
the table as well as the paragraph markers above and below it to delete it. 

I'm assuming that Writer knew the cursor was in the table because the Table 
Tool bar appeared as usual when I entered the table. 

I used the Ubuntu software center to install this version (and yes - I removed 
the earlier version I was using first), so I assume I'm not using a pre-release 
candidate or anything, but I seem to be encountering more anomalies than 
usual with Writer (I've sent three possible bugs to this address in the past 
few days and believe I've only sent in one or two in the past couple years). Is 
there any sort of sanity check I should be running to insure the stuff I have 
is ok? 

Also, by the way, I've noticed that Writer tends to bog down and stop for a 
while in large documents (such as the book I'm currently working on which is 
about 350 pages or so), which it didn't do in earlier versions. Is there some 
sort of memory management configuration that's changed that I should know 
about? 

Thanks, by the way, for a great program - I've used countless word processors - 
both early stand alone machines as well as personal software - since the late 
70s, and Writer is as well thought out as anything I've encountered (just don't 
be like Microsoft and completely change the interface every couple years or so 
while leaving the long-standing bugs in place.) 

If you have questions about this report or my recent ones, or need examples, 
feel free to contact me.
