Description Lenge 2012-10-30 01:49:07 UTC

The Windows installer usually remembers user-made selection or de-selection of the install options, and automatically pre-selects these in a later "modify" install or update.

However, there are a few options that are NOT remembered. The following options are always initially selected, even if they have been de-selected in the preceeding install:

1.) Extensions/Java-Scripting
2.) Extensions/BeanShell-Scripting
3.) Extensions/Python-Scripting

Not a big deal, but as all other options ARE remembered, I consider this a bug specific to the above options.

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Trivial - not affecting much at all but inconsistent as the OP states so should probably be solved.
Medium - to be consistent probably good to have this done, also seems likely it's an easy fix

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise

In the 4.3.4.1 release, the installer does not remember the "Quickstarter" option. If you run the 4.3.4 installer to update an older version (in which the quickstarter was de-selected), quickstarter will nonetheless be selected by default.

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice
(5.1.6 or 5.2.3 https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and
your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";

I have tested on a fresh Win10, using release installers of 6.2.1.2 and 6.2.2.1 to check Add/Remove and Upgrade scenarios. In all cases, all script providers (two for version 6.2: script provider for JavaScript, and script provider for BeanShell), and QuickLaunch, remember their unselected state.

Closing WORKSFORME.
