------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Nov 30 21:54:30 +0000 2009 ------- IMPORTANT: Meanwhile I succeeded to report the OpenOffice/StarOffice bug at the StarOffice Support center, and I was contacted immediately by phone: The bug that I have reported here is indeed a known problem, and until now it had been deemed a problem that the developers of the OpenOffice (i.e. StarOffice) spellchecker won't be able to solve. But now there will be a new inquiry: tomorrow I will be told, if the bug can be patched. The bug occurs, when you got to format a part of a text (e.g. the main part) in English language, AND additionally certain other parts in another language (in this case it was German): That's an important feature for our company, as we often need to cite foreign business partners, and – of course – these are, citations in other languages. So the bug occurs with mixed language texts. With such mixed language texts the OpenOffice spellchecker doesn't work: then it will always tell you (wrongly), that everything is ok. So tomorrow I can tell you, IF the developers are able to solve the problem. If they are, then I will also tell you the expected date – so in this case you will know when the patch will be available. It's an important question! If the developers of the spellchecker won't be able to solve that problem, then no one who has to edit mixed-language texts (texts with foreign language citations) would be able to use the last version of OpenOffice (neither would they be able to use the following versions of OpenOffice). In this case they would have to switch to another Office Software. But if they are able to solve the problem, we can go on with OpenOffice (StarOffice). So I do hope that the problem will be solved. It really sounded VERY strange to me, that such a problem had been deemed unsolvable for OpenOffice developers.... ! Will there be a fix? Anyway – in both cases the OpenOffice users should be briefed globally!! As I have noticed today, other people had described the same problem in the OpenOffice discussion forum. They should know what's up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
