Writer BUG in custom fields.

#1

Hi,
I'll use LibreOffice instead OpenOffice, but I've found a bug, and I did'nt see where I can post this problem.

When I want to use custom field ( ctrl+f2), if I choose a variable Sequence, Writer crash. I use LibreOffice Beta2 in french.

Where can I post this bug ?

Thanks, and sorry for my very bad english.

I posted on the dev list regarding a crash when inserting a caption in a
frame & got an immediate response. Just be sure you post with as much
information as you can, the same as you'd post any bug:

1. OS
2. LibO rev (beta1, beta2)
3. How to replicate, etc.

Bonjour Cédric

Could you post what plaform you are on? We may be able to help if we know LibO Beta2 but for which platform.

Merci

Hi,
My platform is Windows 7- 32 bits. I've not tested in my Ubuntu and other win platforms.

J'utilise principalement windows 7, mais étant professeur de bureautique (sur OpenOffice et bientôt LibreOffice), je passe souvent sur Xp, Vista et ubuntu.

Are you using the LibO Beta 2 from the download page on the Document Foundation site? I believe that the download is only in English. There is no French installation. You may be using the latest of the OOo version from the OpenOffice.org site.

Est-ce que tu utilises le LibO Béta2 du site "The Document Foundation"? Je crois que la seule version n'est qu'en anglais. Peut-être que tu utilises la version OOo du site OpenOffice? Les version ne sont pas vraiment compatibles.

Hi, no it's LibO from Document Foundation, Beta 2. It's international version, so it will install itself directly in French.

Merci de ta réponse.

I am not sure of the LibO windows setup (I use a Linux setup), but I would normally not put it in as a bug until I tried, as a last step, to delete the ".libreoffice" file (in Linux). I am not sure what would be the comparable file but there should be a comparable file in Windows. Does anyone on this list know?

If this file is deleted, it will "zero" or re-initialise your LibO setup and re-initialise your preferences. I would thereafter try the sequence again to see if anything in the ".libreoffice" file was causing the problem.

If the problem persists then I would submit it as a bug.

So, i've already made a reset of my profile (C:\[name]\Appdata\Roaming\libreOffice), but bug is always present. I don't made test on Linux.

Merci Cédric:

I guess it makes sense to submit the bug. Could you submit the bug and I will try to replicate the bug on my linux box. I don't have any Windows boxes with LibO installed. My kids use Windows as a games machine. All of their work (University/Elementary) work is done on Linux.

Could you also post a link to the bugzilla when you post it? I'll add mine to yours if Linux has the same problem. BTW ... when you have the chance could you also try it on Linux?

Thanks

Hi Cédric:

I just tried the Ctrl-F2 in LibO and it does not do anything, however, it kicks me out of my desktop and takes me to the last document I was working on.

Is the Ctrl-F2 combination described in any manual as having to do with choosing a variable statement?

Maybe the use of the combination has changed?

Anyone on the list?

Hi Cédric,

-
Non, c'est bien la version LibO beta 2 de la Document Foundation. elle
s'installe directement en français (chez moi).

It is a known bug that should be corrected now with the next version.
Thanks for reporting it.
By the way, if you want to provide your feedback in French or want to
discuss in French, we have also language lists available from here:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists

Kind regards
Sophie
