------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 25 12:39:44 +0000 2007 ------- Why shouldn't open office be able to show "bad" spreadsheets properly - even on small screens? If you print out a "bad" spreadsheet og view it in Print preview it looks fine - but in the actual open office calc editor you simply can't see the cell content, scroll through it or even Edit it while seeing it. Remember that "bad" spreadsheets my be scientific research with descriptions and measurement results - spreadsheets might be perfect for that. And - as I know from my work - spreadsheets are perfect for technical manuscripts and localizations with lots of text in different languages (one per columes) and huge cell heights. The whole translation business uses spreadsheets and excel sucks with large cell heights. Why now acknowledge that? Why don't you think it's a problem that open office simply can't let the user see and edit the whole cell if its height is large or the user only has a small screen or a small window for open office? All browsers try to show badly designed websites as good as possible letting the user scroll all over them to help the user see the entire page. Programs are there to help the user - not force the user to act in a certain way. Software is meant to be adjusted to best do what the user wants - it shouldn't be the user that is limited to use the software _only_ the way the programmers could think. Please see the attached scripts for repro. I think you might want to call this a DEFECT after seeing the problems this behavoir causes. Certainly not OK. Perhaps you never made a user tests and examined the users' reactions on this exact functionality.
