Bug ID: 160188
Summary: Installation of Libre Office 24.2 has altered my
system
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.1.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I've been a user of Libre Office for years, mostly for the word processor; I'm
nowhere near technical enough to make release contributions, though. Updating
has always been a simple, stress free event - until the latest issue. I was
running 7.6.4, so I did the normal download, then set to install. I have never
known an event like it. Normally, I get a dialog box or two telling me it's
uninstalling the previous version, then installing the new. This time it went
crazy. I lost track of the things it tried to do, including showing several
dialogs that intimated that it was delving deep into the Operating System, not
least of which was to remap the keyboard! I now have a UK keyboard with an
apostrophe key producing US-style apostrophes (straight, not a 'raised comma'
which we Brits use), and quotation marks which are again US-style straight
marks, not 'raised commas'. I tried to reinstall, which seemed more like
'normal', but I still have the remapped keyboard! I'm tempted to save
everything and reload the system from scratch from scratch, but...
Hardware is a hp laptop 15s Core-i3-fq2xxx, 6 months old, running Windows 11,
fully up to date.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install from downloaded file.
2.Uninstall after frightening installation
3.Reinstall; normal installation dialogs
Actual Results:
Reinstalled from downloaded package; keyboard remapped apostrophe and quote
marks (speech marks) keys to US pattern
Expected Results:
Normal installation of UK version
Reproducible: Didn't try
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Should have installed normal UK Version. Reluctant to reset or reinstall until
bugs(s) if any have been detected and corrected.
Update:
Followed instruction to reset User Profile. On a small (couple of sentences)
test doc, all seems resolved. I'm leaving the bug report in place in case
others experience similar problems. *I* cannot be sure that it's not an issue
with the installer.... I leave that to those more skilled than me to determine.
