------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jul 24 20:45:08 -0700 2005 ------- I am using OO v1.9.113 under Win XP SP2, but this bug has been present since OO 1.1.0 under earlier patched versions of XP also. If the registry string, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Sh ell Folders\AppData" uses a UNC path to refer to a hidden share (i.e. one ending with a $ symbol) then when any of the OO components try to access this location it fails. A packet capture shows that OO is incorrectly removing the $ symbol from the share name prior to attempting to access it. This causes numerous problems. Menus in all components suffer from delays of up to 30 seconds while they attempt and fail to access the share. Similar delays continue to occur when many actions are performed in any component. When saving files in Calc it gives the error: "Error Saving document. file://Server/Share/AppDataPath/OpenOffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc/: Generl Error. General input/output error." (where Share should have a $ suffix but does not). This occurs the first time a file is saved or on the first autosave. Similarly, writer gives: "Error loading BASIC of document file://Server/Share/AppDataPath/OpenOffice.org2/user/basic/script.xlc/: Generl Error. General input/output error." An easy workaround is to specify an appdata location in the registry that is not hidden however in our environment all users have hidden home shares and their appdata resides inside that. For example my appdata is at \\MyServer\Mcauliffer$\!Settings\appdata so OO tries to access it at \\MyServer\Mcauliffer\!Settings\appdata I have posted this as a bug under the word processing component but this occurs in all components. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
