Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.3.1-5
Severity: important
OpenOffice.org writer has a facility "record changes" to record a
history of changes to a document. Microsoft Word calls this track
changes.
When applying record changes to a .html document, it appears to work as
normal:
change history is marked on the screen.
Howver record changes in HTML document does not record changes on
saving, and does not inform the user of this. Therefore,
the change history is lost when
the document is re-opened, and the edits are applied as if "accept all
changes" had been invoked.
Minimally correct behaviour would be to warn the user when selecting
'Record Changes' that the file should be saved under a format that
supports track changes.
This warning should be repeated when the user requests to save the
document. Alternative, record changes menus could be disabled.
Note that the Macintosh OS X port of OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice, disables
the menus linked to record changes if the open document is .html
