[Libreoffice-qa] [Fwd: [Bug 53640] PIVOTTABLE from Datasource (Base, Query) shows wrong results]

We have observed that some people can´t use a odb-file without registration in LO (LO 3.5.5 and LO 3.6.1; OS: Windows). I encountered the problem to which you are referring on Linux 64bit with Robert's file. However, I had no such problem on Mac OSX. This was why I registered the ODB file with LO on Linux before attempting to open it again. This may have been particular to my setup, or the file in question. Note that on Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Apple's file manager defaults freshly downloaded files passed directly to an app as read-only, under some kind of lame security policy, which forces the user to re-set the write bit by hand or else move the file elsewhere (which seems to automatically reset the read/write bits). However, this doesn't seem to happen on OSX 10.8, and I can't compare with 10.7 because I didn't keep it on my machine for very long.

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Regression test (Moztrap) test case localization temporary solution.
Yi Fan Jiang píše v St 22. 08. 2012 v 21:08 -0600: we will need to have a temporary workaround to *adapt* translation version of test cases existed in Moztrap. Based on the capacity of current Moztrap, we currently have 3 prototypes of how they can be presented. I populated all these into three actual test cases: http://vm12.documentfoundation.org/runtests/run/29/env/633/ I prefer the first version. It best follows the current Moztrap design. The step and expected result are close to each other and better visualized. Also it should be easier to convert this to the real localized framework once we have it. The second solution is more compact but the step and the result is connected by the strange vpX identifiers. In addition, it would be more complicated to keep all localizations in sync. The third variant looks to confusing to me :-) BTW: I would use STEP instead if STEPS in the first variant. The meaning is: 1st step expected result 2nd step expected result 3rd step expected result ... Thanks a lot for working on this.

Especially when I'm tired and start to do something I never did before. Some automatisms drove me crazy. But fortunately I've learned pretty well to google for switching them off :-) Have you got an idea how to fix the reporter's problems? IMHO he deserves a good and very polite answer, but the most important thing is probably the question how to help him. It's in the first place a bug tracker, so helping him would be my second thought. My first thought would be to get him to give us more information. Therefore, my suggested answer is about: It would be extremely informative and valueable to have you here and look at what you are exactly doing. Software sometimes thinks too much and default behavior can be counter-intuitive and irritating. On the other hand, there is rather active development at present and thus bugs and regressions could have been introduced. Therefore it would be very nice if you could give a step by step explanation what you exactly intended to do, what you did, and what the (intended/unintended) outcome was of every step. So we can address them one by one. Thank you.
