There seems to be quite a few posts re: tech glitches with the latest LO.

Is that just with the Linux version or are others finding issues with the
Windows version as well?



I've found changes to graphs in Calc don't often stick unless I move the 
graph a smidgen. They're not lost but just don't display outside edit 
until the graph is shifted.


Possibly fixed in 5.3.3.2? Can't be sure yet.

We only had log tables; standard slide rules weren't allowed as they
were too inaccurate. Drifting a bit more OT, ball-point pens weren't allowed 
either, only fountain pens.

To put this in some sort of perspective, I left school in 1962 aged 18.

 @Graham,
 
 Short answer, not for the 4.4 branch--the change in UI functions as
 designed.
 
 But, it has been added as an Expert Configuration stanza for master
 (with daily dev builds) and will be available with the 4.5 release
 early August.
 
 If you are interested, the UX issue in splitting the Sheet Tabs from
 the scroll bars can be found in issue  tdf#36772
 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36772   and the
 other side of the issue leading to implementation of a customization
 in Expert Config in issue  tdf#87684
 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87684  .
 
 Availability as  an Expert Config stanza is a bit misleading as there
 is a substantial bit of code that can not now be back ported to 4.4
 to change the UI there.
 
 Meanwhile, perhaps have a go with a daily 4.5.0 dev build --
 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/
 

Thanks for the information. Sorry I took a while to respond but, for
once, I don't think it was my fault; I was unable to see the
fascinating conversations on bugzilla as it hasn't been accessible
until a few hours ago. 

Now that I can see the reason for the change, I'm less bothered by it
than I was before although it's not something that has ever affected
me, even though I've experimented with various different styles for
the application appearance.

[libreoffice-users] Calc: How to get tabs and scroll back to single bar?

2015-02-22 Thread Graham P Davis
One of the features of 4.4.0 version of Calc is that the tab bar and
scroll bar have been split onto separate lines. Is there any way I can
get them back to how they have always been, i.e. sharing tne same line
at the bottom?

 Cheers. LO is my favoured office tool so i doubt it'll upset me too
 much.  I can't be sure it was LO causing the issue. I've had issues
 with copy and paste from other things like Firefox where it won;t
 paste anything i copied from Firefox.

If that happens, click on the clipboard icon. You may find that what
you copied is not at the top of Klipper's list and/or is not ticked. If
that is the case, click on the item you want copied. 

No idea why this happens but it has caught me out several times.

 Hi
 
 i'm getting a regular issue with opening a writer document, copying
 some text (highlight text with mouse and ctrl-c) and when i'm about
 to do something with the copied text, the keyboard locks up (num
 light on) and the mouse can move about the screen but cannot click on
 anything.  I have to reboot the system to recover.
 
 Is anyone else having this problem?
 

I've tried this on the same system with a pre-existing .odt document and
could not reproduce it.

 I can't help you there, but for your information, I researched fora
 some time ago, and found that it is
 spurious.  Latin had no plural for forum, and in English, the plural is
 formed normally--forums.
 
 --doug
 

Thanks Doug, yet another spelling incongruity to wrap my mind around. 
However, I see my Chambers (1977) dictionary allows fora as well as 
forums. Then again, Oxford Dictionaries http://oxforddictionaries.com/ 
says, The plural of forum is usually spelled forums; the plural fora (as in 
the original Latin) is chiefly used when talking about a public square in an 
ancient Roman city.

This is making my brain hurt. Perhaps I'll give it a rest tomorrow and go 
and study florums and faunums.  ;-)
