Declan,

Saw your bugs when you filed them the first time and also the email to the
forum.

One thing that is very helpful is if in your ML exchanges regards bugzilla
reporting your include your  bug ID.

Yours are:

fdo#60218    for Writer
text wrapping
fdo#60228    for
Writer/Impress non-playing videos
fdo#60229   for
BUGZILLAASSISTANT use with Safari - OSX  10.6.8 SnowLeopard

All well written with exception that you did not identify what version of  
OS X and hardware.

Your fdo#60228 is a know issue duplicating   fdo#56847
  , so yours will
probably be closed and merged.

I have confirmed your fdo#60218 as also valid on Windows 7 64-bit under
LibreOffice 4.0.0

Please respond to any dev requests regards any of the bugs, and always
appropriate to refine your submissions with additional details as you think
of them or find work arounds.

Stuart

Re: off-list Re: [libreoffice-users] Serious problems with "Insert Movie and Sound..." on MAC OS X 2 bugs.

2013-02-10 Thread Declan Moriarty 
I have subscribed to the list again.  I didn't get any responses to the email 
requesting help with inserting Movie and Sound.  I submitted 2 bugs about the 
subject.  One about the text wrapping problem and the other not being able to 
play videos in OS X Snow Leopard.  The latter is a regression from 3.3.

The same things happen in 4.0.0 and also embedding audio doesn't work in 4.0.0 
it did in 3.6.5.  The video situation is just the same.

How do you bump up thread in an email list?

I have had no response to the bugs about inserting Movies and Sound which were 
sent a week ago.  I have had some response about a BUGASSISTANT bug where the 
BUGASSISTANT won't work in Safari and just comes up with a message saying it 
isn't working pleas try later.  It does work immediately if you use Firefox or 
any other browser.  Someone said they couldn't reproduce it and could people 
running Snow Leopard please try to reproduce it.  Also the bug tittle was 
corrected by someone with the correct working of the message.  But that is all. 
 Nothing about the Movies and Sound errors, that seem serious.

Hi :)
Did you get any good answers to this?  Have the problems been sorted out in the 
4.0.0?  (somehow i doubt it but it's possibly worth asking).  Perhaps now-ish 
would be a good time to bump your thread on the list?

Regards from 

Tom :)

  Note that graphics wrapping (inserting pictures) works properly and saves the 
correct wrap option e.g. "Though Wrap" is saved correctly for pictures, it just 
doesn't work for sound or video icons!
