Re: Please stop copying Microsoft! They suck more every year!
And mr. Rosenberg strikes again: Much of what you described seems to be related to your operating system rather than Apache OpenOffice. There is nothing related to the operating system that can cause the described behavior. Don't write nonsense. smime.p7s Description: Криптографическая подпись S/MIME
RE: Please stop copying Microsoft! They suck more every year!
Why don't I believe you? Perhaps it is because I have been using this product since Star Office became available. I have used OpenOffice.org from version 1.0 to 3.3. I even used it to help write documentation for it. ( Writer) I have used a spreadsheet to keep track of my finances. Considering the number of linked sheets in it, I would never recommend anyone try this on a smart phone. I have also written an autobiography part that contains 83000 plus words and pics. Another contains 57000 plus words. Could I have done this with the early versions of OOo? No. The present versions have many more features than the earlier ones. Perhaps you have not taken the time to learn what the program can do. I am also helping a lady to write a document for her bridge group. It contains text, pics, bullets, and different heading levels. We are not having any problems doing it. So, seriously, what is your real problem?

The default should be that the things that I type stay exactly the way I typed them. In the early 2000's, it was annoying that it took one button to change this to the default. Now it's actually impossible. I' often have to actually change what I want to write in the document, because I can't stop the damn program from changing it.

I know A LOT of people agree with me about this, and I don't know why nobody's listening. When I used to right-click on something, the box would open in a location appropriate to the box. Now it opens relative to the cursor. This means that if what I've clicked on isn't at the top of the page, I can't paste, because the bottom of the box is below this stupid-ass see-through monstrosity of a taskbar at the bottom of the screen (where I've lost actual windows before, because I accidentally dragged them to the bottom of the screen, and it let me drag it down, but then wouldn't let me click on the document once it was under the taskbar). So have to scroll down, and click again. There are quite a few operations that I used to do with one or two clicks, that now take me four or five.

I have to think that this is related to the fact that IT companies used to pay $70 an hour for geniuses, and now they're paying $20 an hour for recent graduates who don't really use computers to do anything except gaming and chatting. No offense meant if you're one of these graduates, but you really want some people involved who spend a lot of time using the programs they design, for smarty-pants stuff. I think you people need to get together, and buy a few geniuses, and write something that fricking well works for people who aren't teenagers. I know it's hard, when education is no longer a priority, and some government officials are actively fighting against it. But you could even just take the best features from Windows 3.1 through Windows 98, and add the stuff that we need today, and it would be much, much better, without really needing to innovate. I know this isn't in Apache's mandate, but maybe you know someone who could make this happen. I'm so sick of this suckage. I'm begging you, please stop going downhill right behind Microsoft.

So, I will be installing a new card in it for him. I agree that one of the reasons why I chose pclos is that it does not have systemd.

When was the last time (the subject line is enough, I'll find it myself from there, since I never delete email)? Much of what you described seems to be related to your operating system rather than Apache OpenOffice. There is nothing related to the operating system that can cause the described behavior. I don't have the energy or time to read all of the OP's original text once again, but here's at least a short quote that I found: ”When I used to right-click on something, the box would open in a location appropriate to the box. Now it opens relative to the cursor. This means that if what I've clicked on isn't at the top of the page, I can't paste, because the bottom of the box is below this stupid-ass see-through monstrosity of a taskbar at the bottom of the screen (where I've lost actual windows before, because I accidentally dragged them to the bottom of the screen, and it let me drag it down, but then wouldn't let me click on the document once it was under the taskbar). So have to scroll down, and click again.” I don't have such a task bar at the bottom of any of my screens, not in Writer, Calc nor my operating system. Since the operating system is the only thing that is different from the OP's setup (I think), I guessed that that was the problem here. Just a guess, nothing more. I'm not a guru of any kind, so I can be wrong from time to time, but calling it nonsense… well, it's up to you, of course. I don't think there is an ISO standard terminology about things like that, so feel free… Also my English is far from perfect (I know, I really don't need to mention that, it's very obvious), it's just not my native language, and I only write in English on forums and mailing lists, so maybe that made it even more confusing.
