------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Dec 22 16:34:01 -0800 2006 ------- Bug report for Open Office 2.1 Writer When Format - Page is chosen Open Office Writer freezes, preventing changing from portrait mode to landscape mode Problem does not occur with spreadsheets or drawings, or with Open Office 1.1.5 text documents (I am running both 2.1 and 1.1.5) Problem also existed in open office 2.0 (and possibly also in earlier recent versions of Open Office e.g. 1.9, though not with 1.1.5) UPDATE: have just discovered that similar freezing of Writer also occurs when File - Properties is chosen Details: Open new Open Office Writer document (opens in portrait mode) All functions are normal until Format- Page is chosen, In particular - keyboard works normally - menu buttons function normally - insertion point cursor (blinking) functions normally - all items in Format menu (except Format Page) function normally Then, when in menu bar click Format, then click Page, writer freezes Blinking cursor (insertion point) is no longer visible (mouse arrow cursor is okay) Using the mouse: - can maximise, minimise or restore window - can change window size by dragging corners - can move entire window by dragging on title bar - cannot close window - cannot scroll - cannot activate any buttons on any of the menu bars If then press "Enter" - insertion point blinking cursor reappears - normal functions returned No other keys that I have tried have any effect If select Format -Page again, the application again freezes, and normal function (except for Format -Page) can again be restored by hitting "Enter" Cannot close application normally (need to go to Windows Task Manager and use End Task button to close application) Net result is that there is a workaround for continuing with the document in use by hitting "Enter", but it is not possible to change from portrait to landscape mode.
