It's a combination of standard OOo's save icon isse & Ubuntu's OOo attempt to match. For a real entertaining read, see: <http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5226> [Save Icon Greys out when no changes made] Which, after nearly 7 years has yet to be resolved. Ubuntu tried to work with the issue to satisfy it's users, see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/208786 [[upstream] OOo no longer greys out save button after saving as it should] but it appears that in doing so with karmic (9.10) the 'fix' seems to be to leave it lit. I've verified the issue on (U) OOo 3.1.1 karmic & will add a comment to the launchpad 208786 bug. As for standard OOo 3.1.1, I've also verified that the icon does indeed grey out after a save & lights back up when a change is made on the spreadsheet. But I don't wish to be drawn into the 'let's save it this way' that seems to be going on in 5226 - so I'll stick with 208786. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
