Using your file I cannot fully reproduce with: a single monitor, Ubuntu 10.04, OOo 3.2.1, 2.4Ghz/1GB machine running multiple windows, SeaMonkey (with 25 tabs, 3 browser windows, and 4 mail/news windows), Nautilus file browser, and a terminal window open. Graphics is a very old nVidia NV25GL [Quadro4 900 XGL] card & running full compiz extended graphics effects. I do see via top that the cpu on soffice-bin jumps from 0.7% to as high as 17% on a text block move (slide 3 - page history). That said, moving the text block does appear 'jerkey' and does not move as smoothly as expected. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

When you clicked OK, the default hatching pattern was applied to the rectangle. If you were to select one of the other sliders (Tabs) such as Gradient and click OK, does it also change the rectangle? Dan Please reply only to users@openoffice.org: do not reply to my personal email address. Hello Dan, thank you for your message. I tried it with "gradient", and "bitmap" also, and it is the same there. Additionally: my original rectangle is filled by a e.g. light green color, but sometimes the area property dialog opens with "black", see attached area.png. If I change to tab "transparency" to avoid clicking OK in this tab, the color changes nevertheless to black. If I "undo" it, and (right mouse) open again the area dialog, it is correct, see attached area-ok.png Aaah: I found the reason: if I switch to tab "bitmap" then back to the first tab, then the color (German "Farbe")has changed. In my german version, the first tab is called "Flaeche"=area, the text box says "Fuellung"=filling, and the combo box says "Farbe"=color.

Could you give me a PHONE NUMBER Somehow you've been taken advantage of, Landis. You should not, IMO, have been charged for ANYTHING to do with Open Office; it's a free program, its license allows you to use it anywhere you wish, on any machine you wish, on as many machines as you wish. All without charge. http://www.openoffice.org/ is the ONLY headquarters for the development of OO.o and anyone else who claims to be is lying. Open Offce is a free download from http://www.openoffice.org/ to anyone who wishes to download it, and for a very nominal fee it seems I recall there being a CD you can buy instead of downloading it. You're only asked to pay for the CD and duplication costs; nothing else, and it's a very low price even when S&H is added to it. Personally, I always download it. A new update/upgrade is scheduled to come out this fall sometime and it too will be free, without charge, from http://www.openoffice.org/. It IS possible for someone to repackage OO.o and add things to it to add new features, etc., in order to usually target more things that OO.o cannot do natively, but those are the exceptions: It's often the same programs you'd get from http://www.openoffice.org/ that they "sell". Are you sure the $100 was for a 3-year subscription to Open Office? Or might it have been a subscription to updates for an antivirus suite like Norton or McAfee or one of the many others around? If the money had anything to do with OO.o, I'd start asking/insisting on getting my money back. Computer-ese is sometimes hard to interpret so if you wish to paste parts of any of th einfo you have received from Micro Center, feel free; someone will assist you with what it's about. If you wish to give the brand and model of your computer, perhaps someone here could find an answer for you too. I looked at a few of their offerings but didn't find any software bundles provided to look at and so found nothing useful. But with your information something more useful might be available for us to look at and see what you received.
