Other than being subscribed to this mailing list (see: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/), my status is no different to yours (ie. an ordinary user of the software). > I request if you could guide me on how to fix this problem. At this time there is no work-around (what you call "fix") for this issue, that I could suggest to you. > Went to the link given in your mail. From there to another which said > fixed by Coalan Mcnamara, but could make head or tail of all that. The link to "Bugzilla" gave you, is where the project records and monitors software issues and RFE (Requests For Enhancement). Coalan is one of the project's leading developers and the "fixed" tag indicates that he has worked on and resolved this issue. After "peer review" the "fix" will be included in the next update/release of the software. > Does'nt Lo send updates to set such things right or anything which > ordinary users like me could download & install & that settles the > issue. > > regards > Kr. Shivpal Singh Your closing commentary insinuates that project members (including the developers) do not care about us "ordinary users". Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes LO does provide updates and on a much more frequent and regular schedule than other similar software. What you need to understand is that the developers are resolving many issues (like this one) and adding improvements every day, and it would be impossible to update/release a new version every time a single issue was resolved. According to this page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan the next update/release (which should include the "fix" for your issue) is due in a matter of days.
