RE: Problem reporting

2001-08-16 Thread Darren Munt

Arved,

Thanks for the response :) 

I'm certainly not expecting people to drop whatever they're doing and fix
the problem, especially as there is a work around. I guess that coming from
the background I do, I feel uncomfortable with problem reporting and
resolution relying so much on someone taking an interest in a post to a
mailing list. I've seen messages posted from Bugzilla (whatever that is) and
wondered how to go about getting a problem report formalised so that it wont
get overlooked.

I really wish that I was Java-savvy. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I
find this very frustrating as (for once in my life) I am relegated to the
position of a dumb user and all I can do is say "hey, it doesn't work". I do
believe that I am one of the few Windows-world users of FOP and so I can at
least contribute something by testing it out on that platform.

Cheers,
Darren

Hi, Darren

I wouldn't say that you've been ignored. I read those emails, and I'm sure 
that others did too.

I am inclined not to reply, usually, unless I have something to add and/or I

can promise quick action. Neither of which was true in the case of the 
behaviour you report (although I can confirm it, and I do remember the 
percentages working before). I'm guessing the fix is pretty simple - if 
you've got some Java savvy you'll expedite your chances of getting a quick 
resolution by doing some code research. :-) Eventually it'll get fixed 
anyway, of course.

I've tried that twice and been ignored twice, so I thought there must be
some other channel to be used. 

I've been trying to say that the leader-length attribute is ignored if it
has a percentage value instead of an explicit value. The leader.fo example
demonstrates this problem.

Strangely, I did a bit of a search and discovered that Huy Do also reported
this problem on August 2nd. He was ignored too :)

Right here, pretty much.
