------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 26 07:29:52 +0000 2007 ------- fme, from your statements I gather that you're active in the development of OO. You said: [[ It's all a question of resources and priorities. Do you really think we are ignoring this because we don't want to fix this? Did it ever came to your mind that there might be more important bugs to fix / features to implement? ]] How did the team come to the conclusion that this was not a significant bug? Why does the team think that we would rather see new features before we see existing bugs fixed? Perhaps to the Linux and Solaris communities this is insignificant because they have no good word processors to compare this against, and on those platforms OO has no significant competition. This is not the case for Windows or Macintosh. Consider an office that has been using Microsoft Office or WordPerfect Office and they are considering the switch to OpenOffice. It only takes a few early adopters to run into this bug and similar (and they also exist) and the early adopters start bad-mouthing OpenOffice. "There's some weird usability thing with spaces at word-wrap," they might say. Consider many people it takes to say, "They can't even get the fundamentals right," or, "I hate it," to kill adoption of OO by the team. I am committed to OpenOffice (call it idealism), despite the fact that I have a perfectly usable copy of MS Office sitting on my bookshelf. I have taken the time to learn OO when I already knew MS Office. And MS Office does everything I could want, and does it better and more completely than OO. And now you expect me to put up with some Micky Mouse bug that wastes my time every day? Every day I fire up OO and use it for something. And every day I run into this dammed bug. Every day I have to manually check how many spaces I have at the end of a line, or manually remove an extra space, or go back and put in a space I thought was already there. Every day, several times a day, THIS BUG WASTES MY TIME! And now this kind of craptastic word-wrap behavior has found its way into other open source projects. If they copied it from OO, then you and the rest of the staff have a heck of a lot to answer for. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
