Subject: [discuss] Unable to create ANY NEW .odt, .ods, .od* files in OOo
3.1
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.
Thanks for any help,
