I'm using version 2.1 of OpenOffice.org. My problem is : The most incredible thing - I saved a stupid little text document, all text was in Arial, some bolds, a little bullets and nothing more. 1 page total, I had just started working on it. And after the save your application froze. This being a very common occurrence on Windows :), I did what I usually do and killed your process. I then attempted to reopen the document in your app (I was pretty sure the saving was complete and didn't expect any problems) and it offered to recover the document. In the first pass I refused. The app opened only to freeze in exactly the same manner as before. The GUI didn't redraw at all, except for window borders. I tried with recovering, the same happened.
And as if this wasn't bad enough - now I cannot start Impress either. I haven't tried the other apps, but something tells me the same will happen. Among the things that I guess could have some influence on this: the Styles and Formatting tool window was open, both apps freeze with only it's window borders visible, and so I know it's there. And also, I attempted to embed a Draw drawing into the text before saving it. But I deleted it and worked normally after that for some half an hour before all this happened. In conclusion, I cannot describe the level of dissapointment I feel now. I was willing to forgive some stupid little things (like some serious memory consumption, and, for example, incredibly idiotic animation engine in Impress that freezes the app until the slide-change animation ends, and is quite slow at it, too...) but this is incredible. If I wasn't able to access this document any more, that alone would be inexcusable, but not being able to do anything at all?! What exactly do you expect from your users, to reinstall your app every month or two? And I don't even use it that much. I just downloaded version 2.2, the same thing happens again. This time it actually managed to display the document, but froze on displaying the content of the "Styles and Formatting" tool window. I will uninstall it by the time you receive this e-mail. I like using open source software, not just because of the price :) (I can easily and with NO, I repeat NO, feeling of guilt illegaly obtain MS software) but the affection I may feel doesn't lower my standards, and this is, in any case, below any imaginable standard. Please fix this. When something like this pops up, I immediately get the impression that your app is a similar collection of garbage code as MS' apps usually are and I start to question the whole open source idea. Yeah, it's free. And it doesn't work. Kinda figures, don't it? Josip Bakić P.S. You say all the mail sent to you is public. Does that include the sender's e-mail address? Don't bother with replying to this address, this is a junk address I use for some suspicious registrations and things. It would be nice if you would put something on the "Contact" page about this. I apologise if it's already there and I missed it. -- Iskon.DUO akcija - telefon i ADSL2+ Internet vec od 99 kn/mj + poklon Siemens telefon!
