--- Comment #34 from Todd  ---
Hi Bartosz,

At some point I would like to migrate over all my business files from Word Pro
to Writer.  This is a blocker.  The lack of division tabs,the inability to
properly print an envelope, the ability to operate properly with merged tabs
are also blocker.

I have been having a lot of stress lately with Word Pro and Wine as every new
Wine updates  seems to break something.  7.x broke the ability to print.  They
fixed it, but is was several months.  Fortunately Fedora allowed me to
downgrade back to 6.

Division tab request:

Envelope printing bugs

   https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42327

Merged column nightmare:
   https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46733

Anyway, I use Writer for only limited applicatoins becasue of all teh bugs. 
Each bug you fix, especially this one brings me and a lot of Word Pro users a
bit closer to being able to switch.

I sincerely appreciate your help with this!Q

Thanks @Todd for an update. 
Are you still using these Lotus Word Pro filters from Libreoffice?
What is the use case for you?

I would like to understand the use case to better prioritize fixing bugs.

I do own a company.  I can not afford one single more expense.  I hate to admit
it, but it only keeps a roof over my head.

What you are stating is only those folks that can afford to put you on the
payroll can get things fixed, meaning large (big business) companies.

You need to make some previsions for the general public and those that can not
afford to hire you.  And fix some bugs.  I hate to see LO die like this.

Your support in the form of bug reports is appreciated, but when it comes to
implementing bug fixes it takes money. You have to inject funds into the
company ecosystem.

You might find some interesting bits in the "Ecosystem & Sustainability" topic
of these recent board minutes:

It is not total anarchy as there is an engineering steering committee
constantly weighing various topics:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/ESC 

However, having this sort of an entity does not mean it has the power to make
developers fix specific bugs. The freedom for a developer to fix arbitrary bugs
has to be granted by their employer. It is true that many companies allocate a
certain amount of time for working on whatever the employee feels important.

You are free to go and establish a company, win contracts and hire developers
to fix all the bugs your clients are willing to pay for.

What you describe is total anarchy.  If that were the case, nothing would ever
get accomplished.  You do have a controlling authority and Libre Office would
fly apart.

You miss the point.  This is not meant to be offensive.  This is meant as a
wake up to a problem.  I am I.T. support to small businesses. I have spread
Libre Office over two counties in my state – probably 200 by now.  I am a YUGE
supporter of Libre Office.  I install Libre Office on all new installations.

But I can’t get folks to keep Libre Office on their machines.  It is simply TOO
BUGGY.  I have even had employees go buy their own copies and also pirate
copies of M$O they were so angry over the issue.  Now, part of this is that
some users just can’t learn anything new, but most of it is the BUGS. And I am
sorry to say this, but It is not just some customers, it is universal.  I am
the only one that I know of in my business that actually uses Libre Office. 
(But mostly I have to use Word Pro for the envelopes and tables.)

You can’t print an envelope.  You can manipulate tables.  It is harder than the
dickens to switch from portrait and landscape.  Navigating the document is so
annoying you wind up just using page up and down and you WILL NOT implement the
begged for and pleaded for divisions tabs.

When Libre Office first started, you sent out a mailer to all of us Open Office
bug reporters asking for a list of long standing bugs.  I had some out there
for seven years.  You guys fixed my list in under a month.  I thought I’d died
and gone to word processing heaven.  Now Libre Office is back to Open Office’s
attitude.  This is why Open Office died.  IT WAS UNUSABLE.  I DO NOT WANT TO
SEE Libre Office DIE IN SUCH A SIMILAR FASHION.

Now you can take offence at what I just said and anyone can take offence at
anything, but the spirit in which I am complaining is that I want Libre Office
to become usable to the point where users stop having me remove it and stop
wasting tons of money on M$O.  I am a fan, not a detractor.  This is a wake up
call.  You need to listen to what your friends have to say about you.

And yes, you do fix “some” bugs.  But you let the rest age out like Open Office
did.

Okay, this is what I meant.  You manufacturer an automobile.   It won’t drive
in a straight line.  You respond by adding cool new features to it but don’t
fix

You seem to think that there's someone who's in a position to issue orders to
the contributors, like what to work (or do not work) on... I have to disappoint
you. That's not how Open Source development works. The contributors are either
volunteers, who work on what they want to; or employees of companies offering
LibreOffice support, who work on what they are paid to. If there isn't anybody
who wants to spend HIS time to fix reported bugs in LWP import (or is paid to),
it won't be done. It's as simple as that. If you don't like waiting, then fix
the bug yourself. Or find/motivate someone to do it for you. (Or pay to one of
the support companies, after all.)

Btw, that YOUR bug hasn't been fixed doesn't mean that we don't fix bugs. Your
claim is not only not true, it's insulting. That doesn't give much motivation
to any volunteer looking at this bug...

Last thing: I don't understand the releases argument. Even if we did nothing
else bug fix reported bugs for the next few years, the release cadence would
remain the same, because releases are the only way to get the fixes to users.
If anything, the amount of work on releases would increase, because more fixes
on master would undoubtedly lead to more backports to older branches...

Here is an idea.  Pick out a new release.  7.0 will do.  And do not add any new
features.  Instead put your resources into fixing as many bugs as you possible
can. Once you got all the bugs fixed, then start releases with new features. 
And occasionally, go bad and have another bug fix only release to catch up.  If
you keep with new feature and don't fix your bugs, it is Open Office all over
again.

I installed LibreOfficeDev_7.0.0.0.alpha1_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz on a virtual
machine untouched by previous Libre office installations.

I was able to import the attachment to bug 133329 without crashing.  The import
really stunk, but it did not crash.

So, this bug still exists.  Document formatting is still messed up on import.

To unpack a bit, "you" in your claim refers to a diverse group consisting of
- volunteer developers
- developers employed by companies
- TDF employees to a very small degree (no one is employed by TDF to do core
development specifically!)

I don't understand how you can say "you obviously have the resources" without
quantifying the claim in any way. You have to understand that we have over
12000 open reports:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/reports.cgi?product_id=109=NEW The
resources in the whole ecosystem are used to their maximum capacity at any
given moment. To accelerate the pace of development, new resources must be
found.

User-reported bugs are being fixed every day, I think it is usually around a
thousand per year.

This does not cut it.  How many new releases do you do every month?  You
obviously have the resources.  It is just a conscious decision on your part to
ignore bugs reported by the users and concentrate on other things.  You can't
print a envelope properly; your tables are all messed up, harder than the
dickens to switch back and forth from landscape and portrait, no division tabs,
etc., etc., etc.. Note that most of them have nothing to do with other vendors.

As I  previously stated, this is a conscious decision on your part.  And why
Open Office got so bad and why you are going down the same road.

Reasons why we ignore bugs:
- lack of volunteer work force
- lack of clients to contract fixes for specific problems from commercial
support companies

Dear QA Admin,

Why do you guys continue to ignore so may bugs. This was posted on 2015-03-15. 
LO is deteriorating into Open Office.

Anyway, under libreoffice6.4-writer-6.4.4.2-2.x86_64 it is EVEN WORSE!  IT
CRASHES importing an lwp.

The crash report was successfully uploaded.
You can soon find the report at:
crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/crash_details/fac0ba91-017c-4484-b0d6-a2c86d2f5fc6

And you still can not print an envelope properly.

--- Comment #12 from QA Administrators  ---
Dear Todd,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:

bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

(In reply to Todd from comment #3)
 Created attachment 114771 [details]
 source document that crashes import
 
 (In reply to David Tardon from comment #2)
 This is the document (clean up for privacy) that I was trying to import data
 from.  The cleaned up document also crashes LO.  

What I meant was to open a new bug, not attach the document here... Anyway, I
fixed the crash now.

source document that crashes import

(In reply to David Tardon from comment #2)
 (In reply to Todd from comment #0)
  The master document that this comes from (will have to remove private info,
  if you need it) actually crashes LO.
 
 I would be good if you could report this one too. Crashes are more important
 than data loss.

My current version of LO is LibreOffice_4.4.2_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

This is the document (clean up for privacy) that I was trying to import data
from.  The cleaned up document also crashes LO.  

You will note the use of division tabs in the document.  Division tabs have
been repeatedly requested by a number of us over on:
