Doug,
I recall you brought this subject up before. What is the issue number for the problem?
Ger, The issue for altering the document is 48071.
I cannot find the issues that were filed concerning envelope printing, but the last ones were done at that time, IIRC.
That's only a small part of the problem, because in the last couple of days, Firefox has stopped displaying the message file for this list. The messages are all there, FF just won't display them. I had to go into the file with UltraEdit to retrieve the contents of this thread.
To add to the fun, when I log in to OOo and go to my issues, right now it's reported I have 11 active issues. When I go to Bugzilla and search on my userid, it returns only 7 and 48071 isn't one of them. And people wonder why fullaBugsZilla is on my short list of least favorite applications. (Yeah, I know it's named something else these days. That's like the line about putting lipstick on a pig and calling it Monique. At the end of the day, it's still just a pig wearing lipstick.)
Doug
