Package: openoffice.org-writer Version: 1:2.3.1-5 Severity: important OpenOffice.org writer has a facility "record changes" to record a history of changes to a document. Microsoft Word calls this track changes.
When applying record changes to a .html document, it appears to work as normal: change history is marked on the screen. Howver record changes in HTML document does not record changes on saving, and does not inform the user of this. Therefore, the change history is lost when the document is re-opened, and the edits are applied as if "accept all changes" had been invoked. Minimally correct behaviour would be to warn the user when selecting 'Record Changes' that the file should be saved under a format that supports track changes. This warning should be repeated when the user requests to save the document. Alternative, record changes menus could be disabled. Note that the Macintosh OS X port of OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice, disables the menus linked to record changes if the open document is .html -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openoffice.org-writer depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libicu38 3.8-6 International Components for Unico ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080202-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libstlport4.6c2 4.6.2-3 STLport C++ class library ii libwpd8c2a 0.8.13-2 Library for handling WordPerfect d ii libwps-0.1-1 0.1.2-1 Works text file format import filt ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii openoffice.org-base-co 1:2.3.1-5 OpenOffice.org office suite -- lib ii openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.1-5 OpenOffice.org office suite archit ii python-uno 1:2.3.1-5 Python interface for OpenOffice.or ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openoffice.org-writer recommends: ii java-gcj-compat [java2-ru 1.0.77-4 Java runtime environment using GIJ ii libgcj9-0-awt 4.3-20080202-1 AWT peer runtime libraries for use ii openoffice.org-filter-bin 1:2.3.1-5 Legacy filters (e.g. StarOffice 5. ii openoffice.org-java-commo 1:2.3.1-5 OpenOffice.org office suite Java s ii sun-java6-jre [java2-runt 6-00-2 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment ( Versions of packages openoffice.org-core depends on: ii fontconfig 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.14-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.18.0-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdb4.5 4.5.20-11 Berkeley v4.5 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.5-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.17-1 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.17-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.5-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhunspell-1.1-0 1.1.9-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libhyphen0 2.3-5 ALTLinux hyphenation library - sha ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libicu38 3.8-6 International Components for Unico ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.7-4 OpenLDAP libraries ii libneon27-gnutls 0.27.2-1 An HTTP and WebDAV client library ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.0~1.9b1-2 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.0~1.9b1-2 Network Security Service libraries ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libportaudio2 19+svn20071022-2 Portable audio I/O - shared librar ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libsndfile1 1.0.17-4 Library for reading/writing audio ii libstartup-notificatio 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080202-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libstlport4.6c2 4.6.2-3 STLport C++ class library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.22-1 XSLT processing library - runtime ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii openoffice.org-common 1:2.3.1-5 OpenOffice.org office suite archit ii ttf-opensymbol 1:2.3.1-5 The OpenSymbol TrueType font ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
