Hi all
I am using version 2.2 of OpenOffice in Windows XP sp2+updates.
Unfortunately I cannot find an adequate avenue for submitting what may
be a bug, and I haven't been able to find it in a FAQ.
Anyway, here is the issue. I just upgraded from v2.1 to 2.2, and use
Calc everyday to generate an excel File that has no formulas or macros.
It pretty much is a time-log in a convenient spreadsheet format. It
does however extensively use Cell notes, where I can detail my day, item
by item.
Anyway, I have been using OOo in 1.1 where the Excel translation of
notes was not great, since it appended a square box to the end of each
line in the note, and the note size changed every time I saved and
loaded it in OOo. Version 2.0 was much better with notes and Excel
files, as was 2.1.
Now in the new 2.2, the notes will display fine when you mouse-over
them, or set the "show note" option. However, when you click into the
note and try to enter something new, the note will clear the note (info
still in it, just not viewable). To make it display, you must Backspace
up to the previous line (deleting a character in the previous line
unnecessary), then hit ENTER to continue adding to the Note. Atached
are a series of small JPGs showing the error.
One other thing I tried was to save the file as an OpenOffice ODS file.
The Note error is still displayed, exactly as displayed in the Excel
translation.
Hopefully this is a new bug and I just failed to find a bug-report.
BTW, you guys are doing a fantastic job on the project and I look
forward to each new edition to see what has been changed or enhanced.
Have a great day!
