None of the introductory documentation I could find on the IDE describes how to get it running! I can't find it in the help either.

I finally find a post on a forum that instructs how to customize the menu and I try that and it works! Is that the ONLY way to get it running?

Not that I'm FINALLY in the IDE I want to change "Modjule 1" do something meaningful so I right click on it in that pane on the left .... nothing.

So more googling and I find "Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > Libreoffice Basic..." (that last is a single item sub=menu) That's 5 clicks so far to get to a dialog which contains the same info as on the laft pane of the top level, but I can't rename the module there either! I have to click on the "Organizer..." button too! That's 6 clicks. Now, in order to change the name of "Module 1" I need to click it twice, but NOT a double click...

I'm now thinking that this can only be the result of brain damage.

I'm not looking forward to using BASIC in LibreOffice. I'm expecting an absolutely horrible experience. I might even give up before I start.

What is the bug here? Seems to be a post for a forum or a mailinglist. No detailed description of a bug.

Hint for the reporter: Right mouseclick on the name of the module at the bottom of the editor will give you the possibility to rename the module.

Please write down a detailed description of one bug you found for each report.

I will set this bug to Resolved and Invalid.
