Bug ID: 89501
Summary: Finalized configuration items set in Windows Registry
can be overridden by user and can cause crashes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: haste...@gmail.com
Since LibreOffice 4.2 configuration items can be set with the Windows Registry,
it is possible to set the value and set if it's a finalized item.
== Example ==
Add a reg entry in the Windows Registry (.reg file) :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\LibreOffice\org.openoffice.Office.Common\Undo\Steps]
"Value"="42"
"Final"=dword:00000001
This file set the value 42 for max undo steps and also finalize the property.
A reboot is needed to apply the registry modification.
== Problem ==
In the user interface the field is not locked, it's possible to edit it. When
the modification is applied LibreOffice makes an obvious fatal error:
"configmgr modification of finalized item".
There is the same lock visualization problem with some checkboxes like in the
Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General -> Help menu with "Tips" and
"Extended tips" checkboxes. But unlike the precedent case, their modification
does not affect LibreOffice stability.
Of course I made some research to see if this bug is already known, it was was
fixed in previous versions, but the problem still subsist.
