First, conflating MS (or, for that matter, any *commercial* offering) with a free software / volunteer project is at best disingenuous. I'm certain any number of companies providing professional support for LibreOffice will happily backport fixes to the very version you're using - just as MS does with service packs for older products. Second, this bug *is* nasty, and it *does* affect all those people who faithfully implement ODF as-specified - so if you promote ODF, you cannot possibly ask us *not* to comply with it, can't you? And third, if you'd ask nicely, I could maybe stick a hidden config option into one of the upcoming 3.5.x versions, that would permit switching that back (no UI for that, though). That would be a separate enhancement request though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979320 Title: Particular Subtracted shapes not compatible LibO 3.4 - 3.5 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/979320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
