When I first heard that OpenOffice was really good with OS X, it was probably during the Snow Lepeard days; it was an older podcast so when I began hearing about all these breakages, I was most disppointed. I'm also somewhat dismayed that it has been over nine months and it's still broken. Mountain Lion will be along fairly soon and then where will OO be? Probably require even more retrofitting to get things right.
In the meantime, it works really good with Orca on Linux. On 5/10/12, Chris Blouch <[email protected]> wrote: > It's also unfortunate that this is a regression.
