I thought I remembered the first time this question came up, and, sure enough: -- http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=4725 dates back to June 2002. In those days, there were only 1468 bugs outstanding, and, according to Oliver Specht, seven people working on Writer within Sun. Reading that thread, in the bright light of hindsight, explains why I really don't believe that open source is a volunteer activity any more. One way or another, OOo is pretty much good enough for most things now. But I no longer expect any of the well-established bugs to get fixed. There just aren't the programmers to do it. So I no longer bother much with reporting things or with QA. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work very well.
