I agree with Gert that this is an issue for upstream. But anyhow, as we are already discussing it, here are my conclusions after reading some stuff there, specifically,
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=discuss&by=thread&from=120242 http://ui.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9304 Instead of a wrapper around native widget toolkits for each platform, they wrap around calls to lower-level drawing routines (this is called VCL). I'm not sure I fully grasp why they see this as better. It seems that the main advantage is that to add a new platform one needs to only wrap a few low-level drawing routines, instead of a large number of widget-level stuff. This seems peculiar since there are only say 5 main environments to support. But perhaps they are concerned about new platforms appearing. -- GTK+ integration is less than ideal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199437 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
