Earlier today I filed a bug report, but I'm wondering whether I should have brought up the problem here first.
Whenever I try to create a new writer, calc, or impress document and save it as a new .odt, .ods, or .odp file, I cannot. I bring up the sabe file dialog, name the file, and click the button to save it, but the screen only blinks and nothing happens. I can save in any other format listed (or I think so) and usually use a Micro$oft format. I then have to open THAT document using OOo 2.4 (which I reinstalled on both systems just for this purpose). Using that version I can save the file as the appropriate .odt, .ods, or .odp format and then I can close the 2.4 ap and restart OOo 3.1, open it with that version, and continue. This is not a permissions issue and root gets exactly the same results as my regular login ID does. There are no error messages and no warnings that I am aware of. The same problems occurs on multiple machines both running Fedora FC10. It occurred with OOo 3.0 and now with 3.1.0 [OOO310m11 (Build 99399)] (x86_64 version) This is repeatable 100% of the time and has occurred at least scores of times. This could be an environmental issue on these two machines since they are similar, but I have no way to test that theory at present as the other Linux boxes I have cannot currently (for employment reasons) have OOo installed on them. This did not occur with the fedora-fc10-x86_64 version, but it had other, worse problems (stylist was badly broken) and I removed it from the system before installing the OOo download version. I suspect there is also a small code issue involved, as the failure to create the file without any warning, error message, or explanation is probably not the likely expected behavior of the code involved. This does not occur on the windows machine I have or on those of my wife or my son so I expect that it is confined to Linux.
