Hello, I am new to this list and have a couple of questions. I am using LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 on Kubuntu Linux v13.10 if version/OS is relevant.
The first is about footers in Writer and I guess it is more a curiosity than a problem. Whenever I insert a footer into a Writer document in a multipage document, no matter where I am in the document, Writer takes me to the bottom of page 3 of the document to insert the footer. Of course then I have to scroll back to where I was working before creating the footer. This is really just an annoyance but does anyone know why Writer does this and if it is possible to stop this behaviour? It would seem to me to be more logical to insert the footer while remaining on whichever page I am working at that time. The other question is a little more serious. Sometimes in Writer but more often in Calc, LibreOffice just locks up. Not just LibreOffice, but the whole system. For example, yesterday while using Calc and trying to drag-copy a cell down a column for a number of rows to replicate a formula, as soon as the drag was started, the computer just locked up. The mouse cursor would move but nothing would respond to a mouseclick. It wa snot possible to stop LibreOffice or start/stop any other programs, <Alt><Tab> wouldn't work. The computer also didn't respond to a <Ctrl><Alt><Del>. While it was eventually possible to start up a terminal in Linux and kill the LibreOffice process and reopen the document, some work was lost as a result. It doesn't happen often but often enough to be a nuisance. Is this behaviour a known bug? Does anyone else see this problem and does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing it? Thanks in advance.
