LibO 5.3 Table Styles

#1

All:

Libre Office Version:
Version: 5.3.0.1
Build ID: 3b800451b1d0c48045de03b5b3c7bbbac87f20d9
CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 4.7; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk2;
Layout Engine: new;
Locale: en-ZA (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

In _Styles and Formatting_, go to _Table Styles_
Click on "Default Style".

Next thing I see is a box with _Fatal Error_
that displays the following text:

file:///opt/libreoffice5.3/program/../share/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/ui/templatedialog32.ui

Can somebody translate that error message into something I can use to
fix the issue? I'm assuming I broke something in my configuration, but
have no idea what.

OS: Linux.
MX Version: 16.11mx16+3
64 bit.

See this (and duplicated) issue(s):

Bug 101648 - GSoC table template: Crash on Modify custom table template
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101648

As far as I understand the problem, the UI to modify/create table styles is not implemented yet and when LibO looks for that UI and finds nothing the program crashes.

See this (and duplicated) issue(s):

When I searched Bugzilla, the closest match I found was about creating a
table in a document.

I see I was using the wrong group of keywords.

Bug 101648 - GSoC table template: Crash on Modify custom table template
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101648

the UI to modify/create table styles is not implemented yet

I was thinking it was one of those features that is implemented, but
requires messing up in «Expert Configuration» for it to work as
expected. :frowning:

a)
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2015/12/13/style-your-tables/
implies that once implemented, they will be user configurable;

b) Somewhere I read of a description of how to edit table styles,
without importing/introducing errors from other table styles.
Being somewhat more concerned at the time, about whether Zhen was
purple, pink, or red, I didn't write down the URL explaining how to
create/edit table styles.

and when LibO looks for that UI and finds nothing and finds nothing

the program crashes.

Copying templatedialog16.ui to templatedialog32.ui
removed the Fatal Error box.
Instead, it crashes immediately. :frowning:
