If the full document is classified, then you will want to reproduce the same bug in a new, unclassified document, something that can be shared. (A thought for the PPMC: Note that in exceptional cases we do accept confidential documents on private lists. For example a security vulnerability report can come with a test document that demonstrates the vulnerability. Such documents are received on our security list, verified, but not made public. There is a level of trust between the security team and the reporter to treat such information sensitively. If we wanted to, we could have a similar practice with documents indicating other kinds of errors, non-security. Although it is easy for us to say that Marco should reproduce the error in a clean document, etc., the fact is this is often not possible. For example, when the bug is related to importing a document that was created in an earlier version of OOo, or even created in another application, one that the reporter does not have installed. I think only a small number of users will take the extra step to create a new test file for us. The net result is we fail to get some perfectly valid bug reports, and miss the opportunity of fixing some real bugs.) -Rob > Thanks! > > Kind regards, > >Marco A.G.Pinto > ----------------------- > > > -- >
