Sounds like bad bug triage. That kind of error -if it can be reproduced by
you- should be easy to reproduce and confirm by devs. Did you provide
sample documents?

Does it work when Windows is started in "Safe Mode"?  If so,  the problem is 
caused by crosstalk from some application/driver that runs in Windows Normal 
mode.  On my infrequently used Windows machine (XP) it works correctly.

Which OS do you use?

I can confirm the bug with v4.1.2 (german) on Ubuntu 16.04.1

The bug does not occur on any of my Xubuntu 16.04.1 machines (en-UK).  There 
have been reports that it can occur on full Ubuntu 1g.04.1; other users of 
Xubuntu 16.04.1 report no such bug.  I do not know the situation of other 
*Ubuntu 16.04.1 versions

Re: AOO crashes on applying styles

[Matthias Seidel]

I can confirm that it does not occur on Xubuntu 16.04.1. So it may be
related to the window manager.

I will try en-uk on Ubuntu 16.04.1 to see if it is related to the
language pack.

There are at least 2 other situations where I can reproduce a crash.
One was confirmed for 4.1.1 on Mac
(https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125762).

Re: Fwd: Conversion Problem

[Hagar Delest]

Hi,

The OOXML (.docx/.xlsx/...) was not designed to be compatible with anything 
else than MS Office. That's part of the vendor lock-in policy.
If you need to work in that format, stick to MS Office or accept the 
limitations of the other software that try to do their best to be as close as 
possible to the desired output.

Note that to compare, you should provide a PDF showing the differences.

Read Only documents

[Rick Davis]

I,ver been a user of Open Office for several years. Recently, files that I've 
created with Word are opening as "read only", even though they were not 
originally created or saved with that property. 
The Help file tells me to toggle the "Edit File" icon to allow file editing. 
When I click on the "Edit File" icon to edit the text document, the program 
crashes.
Is there a setting to change the default away from "read only" or another way 
that I can edit myself saved document files?

Re: Re: Fwd: Conversion Problem

[Hagar Delest]

If you need professional use with OOXML, then stick to MS Office, else you'll 
lose much time trying to have the desired result with something else than MS 
Office. It will lead to frustration and possibly loss of image (I mean your 
credibility toward your customers).

The real challenge is the file format. Think ODF as the key to regain the 
property of your documents and your data. It is a true open standard, meant to 
avoid the vendor lock-in policy (like it used to be with .doc).

I don't remember, this was a couple of years ago, I think…
But I guess I could, if nobody else can reproduce it with any file.

Could be, I use Compiz, which is rather buggy, as it seems, and I don't use
the default settings. For instance I use the desktop cube för desktop

You don't say what operating system you are using, but can you use a file 
manager to see if the read-only bit is set for one of the files with the 
problem is set?

RE: Conversion Problem

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

I confirm that the myfile.docx renders very differently between Microsoft 
Office Word 2016 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2.

The file is in an RTL script and there are Apache OpenOffice discrepancies with 
regard to page layout (such as on the first page) and with margin alignment and 
with table columns not switching to RTL.  There are also incorrect and missing 
image presentations.

I have created a PDF of how Microsoft Word renders the file, for use in 
comparison with Apache OpenOfice rendering and that of others.  It is too large 
to be accepted on this mailing list.

I will open a Bugzilla with the original .docx and the .pdf as attachments so 
that we all know what we're talking about.

RE: Conversion Problem

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

Issue 127104,  now has the 
PDF created from Word 2016 and the original .docx file as attachments.

I described this as incorrect rendering of Arabic text, although that might not 
be the actual language.  If I should correct that, let me know.

Windows 2016 TP5 issue, VC++ 2008 x64 9.0.30729.6161 Apache OpenOffice 1759911

[Saifi Khan]

Hi:

The installer seems to hang (atleast 45 min and no bail out) at the 
'Configuring VC++ 2008 redistributable' dialog stage.

Apache OpenOffice 1759911 (4.2.0 nightly build)
OS: Windows 2016 TP5
Dialog: VC++ 2008 Redistributable x64 9.0.30729.6161 

Note: there is "no" Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware application installed or running.

Please see the screenshot at
https://i.imgsafe.org/6170106283.png

While i understand that VC++ 2008 redistributable is a dependency for Apache 
Open Office 4.2.0, couple of points here

1. the user experience gets affected, given the inordinate delay in completing 
the installation.

2. is there a way to let the user know, that a log entry can be reviewed to 
know where we are stuck

3. Is there a plan to bump up the 'baseline' for the VC++ compiler version that 
Apache Open Office is built with ? 

Thanks for your time.


warm regards
Saifi.

Here is a quick update.

After another 15 min or so, the installer dialog popped a Retry dialog. I 
clicked the same and the installation completed successfully !

is there a way to know which secondary process in the installer is blocked or 
blocked waiting ?


warm regards
Saifi.

The folder you selected does not contain a Java Runtime environment.

[Saifi Khan]

Hi:

Running the AOO 4.2.0 nightly build for Windows, i am trying to specify the 
Java JRE environment.

Environment
 . Windows 2016 TP5 server
 . Java JRE 1.8.0 update 102
 . AMD 64 APU A4

First of all the auto detection of the Java JRE environment does not happen.

So, i manually specify the following path

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_102

Please see
https://i.imgsafe.org/63600cc5a5.png

After a moment's delay, the followng dialog is seen.

The folder you selected does not contain a Java Runtime environment.

Please see
https://i.imgsafe.org/6363a357ad.png

Attempting to specify the parent folder

C:\Program Files\Java

or the child folder

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_102\lib

leads to the same error.

Any pointer's as to how to address this issue ?


warm regards
Saifi.

Re: Read Only documents

[Rick W. Davis]

Julian:

I amforwarding  using Windows 10. I have checked each file property to find
none intentionally set as read-only.
I recently began seeing the read only addition to the file name when
opening previously created doc. files. Clicking the Edit icon in Open
Office causes the program to crash every time. I'm going to try
uninstalling Open Office, downloading the latest version and reinstalling.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your quick response.

OpenOffice, being a 32 bit application on Windows, needs a 32 bit Java 
installed and selected. You must download and install a 32 bit Java when using 
a 64 bit Windows.  Such 32 bit Java can be downloaded from www.java.com and 
will have 586 in its file name.

I did not notice that you were running the 4.2.0 nightly build.  I have no 
knowledge of whether this is 32 or 64 bits, so my previous answer may be 
misleading. If you are in a production environment it might be unwise to run a 
development version of OpenOffice.
