www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=17171 is a bug which causes
data loss in long documents, fairly commonly experienced and with lots
of votes. It's marked as P3 with target OOo Later (meaning never). It
blocks www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=59185 which is another
data loss bug marked as P3 with target OOo 3.x (which is a bit
inconsistent even though it means almost never).
- Should not these bugs be P2?
- Although 17171 is fairly self-evidently likely to be very difficult to
fix, in itself that doesn't seem to be a reason for the delay
In what forum can those who feel frustrated about this ask for triage to
review whether or not the current priorities and targets are reasonable,
considering the severity of the issues?

Since this is my first post to this list, perhaps I should briefly
introduce myself. I have more than 40 years professional IT experience
from assembly programming to consultancy, with in-depth experience of
PCs and desktop applications. For some time I have been doing OOo QA
work, though not very intensively. I am primarily interested in helping
to make OpenOffice better for inexperienced end users, so usability and
the absence of fundamental restrictions like these bug are the kinds of
things I focus on.
