--- Comment #19 from Frank <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Michael Meeks from comment #18) Hi Michael: I was pleasantly surprised to learn that someone actually read my document. Before retirement, I was part of the "corporate" world, and was rather astonished to learn how different the world of open source was, and naively thought I could make some architectural contribution in an area with which I have a lot of familiarity. As for any further involvement on my part, I would have to say No: I've learned my lesson. I do, in fact, still use LibreOffice when it's called for, but certainly not for anything that requires multiple languages. And I continue to find that each automatic update causes stomach cramps and itchy eyeballs as I wait to see what's been broken (in the version I currently have - Version: 5.0.5.2: Build ID: 1:5.0.5~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty1: Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8) - for instance, I find that when I work with Writer, the memory leaks are way beyond what I've experienced since the days of 3.x, to the point where my system sometimes locks up completely. And it's been quite a while since I've experienced that with any Linux distro). "Testing" seems to consist of "seeing if some change works," which is of course about the least significant part of that process in professional circles. Another attitude that makes me unsuitable for any such effort is the seemingly utter disdain for architectural underpinnings. Ugh! I understand that working on bugs ("hacking" as you refer to it) is how young or inexperienced programmers can get involved with something "real," and I certainly think that's a good thing (although in the real world, we would have a mentor, something the open source community likely can't afford). And I realize that complaining about a product that does many things well and for FREE is a bit disingenuous on my part. But thanks for what seem to be some kind words, and best of luck. Frank -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
