Unfortunately, it's not happening on my systems anymore, it's happening on my customer's systems and that's not a situation where I can go through that. This doesn't happen often, but it was starting to happen to one client on Windows XP and she had to reboot every time she wanted to run my app. I have to set up a kill method first, then some VERY major programming to handle tasks that, at this time, take me days to do. On another note, I have tried to report a couple issues in the past. One was in Writer and it was closed because it could not be reproduced for presentations. The other was a serious issue about importing documents. In that one I was totally blown off and I felt some of the comments bordered on rude. I'm really loathe to turn in bug reports at this point. I've helped with the community before while working out macros and macro programming. I've been working in Perl for 6 years and in Java for about 4 years, but I've never learned C and it seems C and C++ programmers seem to have completely different attitudes and a language all their own. Unfortunately, and I've come across this in several FOSS projects, part of that language seems to include being condescending to those who aren't in "their" world. As I said, I've helped in other areas and when I get back to the point where I'm writing again, instead of programming, I'm sure I'll have a lot to contribute to in OOo. It's been a big help to me and I want to give back more than what I have, but I've just found reporting issues to be a negative experience. I don't know if the intent of some of those programmers was to squelch me so they could close the bugs, but the effect is that I've learned it's not worth the hassle to report issues.
