[tdf-announce] Get ready for LibreOffice 4.3 bug hunting session

Hi :slight_smile:
These bug-hunting sessions can be a great fun.

It's only for a short time-period so you can find yourself racing against
other people who are also new to it all. Even if you know nothing about
how to do it there are experienced people on-hand to help. If you don't
know coding then that can even be an advantage because you avoid getting
embroiled in 'interesting' details.

Sometimes these competitions have led to prizes, such as netbooks and
things. Bodhi Linux have such awarded a a few people netboks as top
prizes. The QA team here did the same around a year ago. I think this
time there isn't a prize but it's a good time to get in some practice.
Good luck all!

Tom :slight_smile:

Tom thanks for the heads up. Will 4.3 be available for download in
advance of the actual Beta release date/ I have been using the 4.2.4 RC1
on my openSUSE 13.1 for the last week. So far no issues with CALC (at
least my spreadsheets). Writer still has problems with a .docx document
I get each month. Does not show some of the graphics. The version of
Word is 2010. I can enter a bug report if necessary and attach the
Writer page and one from the PDF to show what it should look like.

Let me know where to post the bug.

Thanks

Hi :slight_smile:
Wow! Errr, the QA team have more idea about details like that. At a guess
the competition starts at the point-in-time when the 4.3.0 pre-release
becomes available. I could easily be wrong but i think that's how i'd

ooops! i sent again before editing or completing! :frowning:

The link for the QA team is in the announcement. The link for posting
bug-reports is here
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport
but i think there is something special set-up for people taking part in the
competition.

I wish there was a prize (other than kudos) for the winners! Not that i'd
win it!

need to ask this question: how does the current backlog of bugs factor
in with these bug hunts? I understand the bug hunts are great for

Well you're right, it is about finding new bugs (or previously fixed bugs that may reappear) in the development versions. Actually, "old" or open bugs get fixed at every new release, while others get (unfortunately) introduced. That's the factor you were asking about I guess?

Here is an example:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57116

It's not really stagnant. As I read on the bug reports comments, you filed that bug against the 3.6.2 version. This version is obsolete; but someone actually tested the problematic behaviour with a 4.2.0 and the bug was no longer observed:
"So even it is not informed here, it is solved for the releases in production."

So it was fixed somehow. Please keep in mind that bug fixes are only brought to actively supported versions (the ones you can download from the website), not obsolete ones like the 3.6.x branch.

I'm excited about LibreOffice 4.3's release because the software keeps
getting better and better. However, it's also a bit frustrating when
reported issues exist for a long period of time.

I hope I have answered your question;of course there are always unresolved issues that are still in the actively supported versions. Devs try hard to squash these bugs, and are very successful at doing that, but there are always some leftovers.

Cheers,

Charles.

LibreOffice Bugzilla but it will not accept it under 4.2.3 or 4.3.1.

I have attached the .docx and .pdf to this email. I do not know if
attachments are allowed.

Let me know if you need anything else or if I can test something.

I do have the 4.2.4 (direct from LO site) and installed.

That's weird. There should be an entry for beta/rc. May I suggest you wait for the bug hunting session? Otherwise I can file the bug myself.

Charles if you could file it I would really appreciate it. I need to
modify the .docx version some times. If not I can wait. I tried to post
the .pdf and .docx document to pastelink, but the .docx would not post

need to ask this question: how does the current backlog of bugs factor
in with these bug hunts? I understand the bug hunts are great for

Well you're right, it is about finding new bugs (or previously fixed
bugs that may reappear) in the development versions. Actually, "old"
or open bugs get fixed at every new release, while others get
(unfortunately) introduced. That's the factor you were asking about I
guess?

Not really. I was asking how current backlog bug reports factor in with
these bug hunts. As bugs are fixed in each new release, those bug
reports are eventually resolved and maybe even closed. They might be
reopened if a regression occurs, but that's something different. I do
understand the need to find out if new features and functionality either
have problems, themselves, or possibly caused regressions but a
regression is a break of something that previously worked. A bug
report that's still in "New" status, like my sample bug, hasn't been
fixed and my question is: during these bug hunts, is there any effort
put into seeing if any of the backlog bug reports have also been fixed
or is the intent mostly to focus on the "new stuff," making sure new
features and functions work properly and to see if any regressions have
been introduced.

Here is an example:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57116

It's not really stagnant. As I read on the bug reports comments, you
filed that bug against the 3.6.2 version. This version is obsolete;
but someone actually tested the problematic behaviour with a 4.2.0 and
the bug was no longer observed:
"So even it is not informed here, it is solved for the releases in
production."

So it was fixed somehow. Please keep in mind that bug fixes are only
brought to actively supported versions (the ones you can download from
the website), not obsolete ones like the 3.6.x branch.

Yep, release 3.6.2 is certainly obsolete but that's the version of the
software in which I first experienced the problem. I certainly hope bug
reports filed against *now* obsolete releases aren't being ignored.
As for the status of my sample bug report being changed to "invalid",
I'm addressing that now since I experienced the same problem with Writer
4.2.3 on Windows XP. :slight_smile:

I'm excited about LibreOffice 4.3's release because the software keeps
getting better and better. However, it's also a bit frustrating when
reported issues exist for a long period of time.

I hope I have answered your question;of course there are always
unresolved issues that are still in the actively supported versions.
Devs try hard to squash these bugs, and are very successful at doing
that, but there are always some leftovers.

Yes, you have and I appreciate your response. :slight_smile:

Charles if you could file it I would really appreciate it. I need to
modify the .docx version some times. If not I can wait. I tried to
post the .pdf and .docx document to pastelink, but the .docx would
not post there. Waiting to hear from them on problem. The PDF version
is posted for 6 more days at:

CODE
------------
pastelink.me/dl/b74b8a

----------
Note my signature change to the KDE version. LibreOffice 4.2.4 still
opens the .docx wrong but I found if I click on the left hand blue
column near the top, the picture frame appears and if I then click in
the frame and select edit with external program, in my case it starts
GIMP and the Lions logo does appear in GIMP, like the one in the pdf
copy. This may help someone looking at the issue.

I tested your file on the 4.2.3. There's no 4.2.4 released yet, only
development versions. Now: I do not have the same behaviour about the
Gimp opening the file, but I certainly have weird blue and yellow lines
and squares in the header and the footer. That tells me there's
something wrong.

However, I believe that it may have to do more with our own ability to
improve the OOXML filter than an actual bug inside LibreOffice.

Do you mind if I first bring this up to the Document Liberation team
(www.documentliberation.org) at the Document Foundation for guidance?
They will be able to advise on opening a bug for this or work it out in
a different way.
What do you think?

Best,

Charles.

High folks,

just read that the spadmin printer administration tool is to be removed in
future releases of LO. I rely on that tool, especially because GNU/Debian
cups has only this awful slow and unpractical browser interface and since KDE
removed the kcmshcell printers facility.

In a small office network one has to have a handy GUI tool for the users.

I tested your file on the 4.2.3. There's no 4.2.4 released yet, only
development versions. Now: I do not have the same behaviour about the
Gimp opening the file, but I certainly have weird blue and yellow
lines and squares in the header and the footer. That tells me there's
something wrong.

Yes I know 4.2.4 is not released, I downloaded it from the LibreOffice
site to test and see if problem I sent you in the .docx file.

However, I believe that it may have to do more with our own ability to
improve the OOXML filter than an actual bug inside LibreOffice.

That is quite possible. Different .docx file have always given me
graphics problems with LibreOffice (But each new releases systems to get
better). I've seen the header/footer issues you mentioned on passed
releases.

Do you mind if I first bring this up to the Document Liberation team
(www.documentliberation.org) at the Document Foundation for guidance?
They will be able to advise on opening a bug for this or work it out
in a different way.
What do you think?

No, in fact if there is anything else I can supply, let me know. I use
LibreOffice: Version: 4.1.5.3 Build ID: 410m0(Build:3) supplied with
openSUSE13.1. I'll see if there is a 4.2.3 version in the repos and see
if I get the same issues you see.

Like I said the other day, I tried opening a bug, but could not get it
yo accept the .docx document as an attachment.

Again thanks for your help.
