Hi all, 
I am just starting out to fix bugs. I spent some time around Bugzilla

the right files to fix is big part of fixing a bug. It seems there's no set of 
rules on how to find the files of interest. But, I bet there's some logical way 
to look for those files that needed to be modified to fix a bug. Any 
ideas/suggestions/advices on how to do that is much appreciated.


It is hard to give a general answer to your question, but if you have a 
concrete problem/bug that you would like to work on, then maybe we can 
help you.

We start preparing a Beta RC on this new branch and will move in
showstopper mode from now on. The same handling as before, nominate
issues as showstopper by requesting the showstopper flag.



When we are in 'showstopper mode' then the corresponding showstopper
flag feature in our Bugzilla database must have been enabled.
Can somebody with corresponding karma enable this feature?



Thanks Herbert for activitating the feature.

Important reminder:
We are in showstopper mode now, please request showstopper flag for

  Question: A new .odp is created with the template when try to open .otp

  Issues:
  - only the first slide in template is available for apply to the existing

Does it make sense to raise a showstopper for MacOSX ?

2014-02-26 Thread Rony G. Flatscher (Apache)
Hi there,

it seems that dispatching scripts via AOO's Java scripting framework is done 
using the wrong thread
on MacOSX.

This reasoning stems from observing the Java runtime error to be caused e.g. 
when using a JDialog to
popup reporting the following error:

com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException[jni_uno_bridge_error] UNO calling Java 
method invoke: non-UNO exception occurred:
java.lang.InternalError: Can't start the AWT because Java was started on 
the first thread.
Make sure StartOnFirstThread is not specified in your application's 
info.plist or on the command line

This problem is also present in Herbert's latest drop.

This effectively inhibits dispatching any scripts from within AOO on MacOSX, 
which works fine on
Windows and Linux otherwise (in 32- and the latter in addition in 64-bit).

As the code for making ooRexx available was copied from the BeanShell's Java 
scripting framework
implementation and works on all other platforms flawlessly, this seems to be a 
serious error on
MacOSX, and therefore a showstopper, IMHO.
[The code gets dispatched by AOO and on its supplied thread.]

However and interestingly, there seems to be no problem with BeanShell and 
JavaScript, which is
surprising to me. Not sure why they execute properly on MacOSX, but that 
observation is also the
reason why I prefer to ask first, before setting the showstopper flag on bug 
124170 (see below).

There are two bug issues that document this problem:

  * Bug https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124170, Comment # 9: 
explains where to find
the (basically a pure Java-) oxt (a debug version using JDialog) and how to 
get the Java error
on MacOSX.

  * Bug https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120359 is probably 
related to the same
reason (in the part describing problems dispatching scripts and some sort 
of work around that
more or less worked on the prior 32-bit version).

---

It might be interesting to note, that in OpenOffice.org times (32-bit OOo) it 
used to work on
MacOSX. I am not aware of any changes in the scripting framework that could 
cause this behaviour.

 If you get a chance, please review the survey and let me know of any

 The phrasing on the year questions, Each answer must be between 0 and

Here's the issue with that question:   Our experience with the prior
two questions is that we run into trouble when asking a  how long
have you been type question.  We saw people entering the year
they started doing the action.   So they would enter 2010 if they
started using OpenOffice in 2010 rather than 3 for three years.  So
the field validation is attempting to give an error if they make this
mistake.  It restricts the duration field to a number between 0 and
100.

This is not how I would do this either.  But it is their study, so I'm

 More important: the last page should give some more information about the

 linking to the study directly would be OK too. so people know what to

It links to the professor's website on introduction to the survey, but

The generated build output found in /main/solver/... can not be executed 
- as far as I know. The folder structure does not correspond to the one 
of an installed OpenOffice. Thus, the needed libraries are not found.


After you had successfully performed a complete build you will find 
corresponding packages in the output folder of module instsetoo_native. 
Depending on configure option --with-package-format you will also found 
an 'installed' OpenOffice (--with-package-format=installed) or a 
archive containing an 'installed' OpenOffice which you only have to 
unpack (--with-package-format=archive). Note: 
--with-package-format=archive installed rpm deb is also possible 
resulting in debian-based packages, rpm-based packages, archive 
containing a 'installed' OpenOffice and and 'installed' OpenOffice.

Apache OpenOffice Writer Usability Survey

2014-02-26 Thread Rob Weir
We invite you to take a brief survey on your use of Apache OpenOffice
Writer.  This survey is part of a larger usability study of OpenOffice
usability by  researchers at the Autonomous University of Madrid and
the Polytechnic University of Madrid.  You can read more about this
research project Usability in Open Source Software Development on
their website:

https://sites.google.com/site/silviateresitaacunna/Home/usability-in-oss

This brief survey will categorize users by experience level with
OpenOffice Writer.  As part of the usability study a subset of
respondents will be contacted via email with further follow-up
questions.  If you consent to be part of this follow-up group please
indicate so at the end of the survey.
