Description ghborrmann 2017-12-22 22:04:57 UTC
The MRI extension site lists two versions: 1.1.2 and 1.1.4.  Neither one will install in LO 5.3.7.2; each of these produces a different error.  Compatibility is listed as up to 3.5, so this is no surprise.  The OpenOffice site has a later version: 1.3.3, and this one does install.  However, the menu bar of MRI is completely unusable; each menu item drops down so little that there is no room for any menu subitems to be displayed.  I have successfully installed this version into LO 5.1.6.1, and the menu items function as expected.  I am surprised that a minor version change (from 5.1 to 5.3) would have any effect on the behavior of so basic a component as a menu.

Comment 3 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2017-12-23 15:38:08 UTC
According to https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/comment/3042#comment-3042, this extension is not intended to work with LibreOffice.
Please, ask the extension author for help.

Closing as NotOurBug.
