Hello Alexander, Harold & Brian, I can confirm this bug on Mac with OOo 3.0 Beta (Aqua version). I searched the issues already listed, and it's there as no. 88637 The issue is 'unconfirmed' and no target milestone is mentioned... so no solution of this defect in sight! -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua Beta 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
