Please read Manuals reply.
It's not about supposed potential users but actual contributors. They
predominantly seem to switch off the editor.
So the editor should be disabled until a fixed version is
found/installed.

EOD for me
Thanks Nino. Don't take the rest of the following as an angry retort but
more of a discussion more on the philosophy behind what I consider the
use of WYSIWYG editors.
I don't have a problem with turning off the editor if it is not working.
But would like to have the option of using it if this is possible at all
... pretty please. BTW, I am probably the one who turned the editor on
in Manuel stats. LOL
Also BTW, thanks for Manuel for all of his hard work. It is appreciated.
I do all of my contributions with WYSIWYG editors wherever I
participate. I find that I can format more efficiently and have more
time and leave the formatting coding up to the editor. This is not to
say that I could not do it or stop contributing to the project, but it
would certainly slow down the process.
I find it a little strange that we are debating about the virtues of
using WYSIWYG editors while at the same time advocating a suite built
on the principles of WYSIWYG. How ironic, when you think that the
majority of people would definitely use the LibO suite and not return to
the CP/M days of coding all aspects of formatting to write an article ..
Wordstar these days would clearly not sell.
If we are looking to increasing the amount of membership participation
on the project, then, presumably they are here because they believe in
the LibO suite and would like to contribute. By providing these new
members a means by which to participate that includes subscribing to a
text editor that requires an output better suited to a WYSIWYG editor is
self-defeating.
Having more members participate will make for a better and more popular
vibrant project.
