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!
Glenn Skitch

Someone asked about this problem before on this list and I think it's a
known problem and I also think an error report is already filed.
You can search for the thread somewhere at http://www.openoffice.org/ and at
the same place you can also search for that bug.
As far as I know, the note is not cleared out. It's there, but you just
can't see it in edit mode. I'm going to work now, so I don't have the time
right now to provide you with the appropriate links, maybe someone else can.
