Description mikemckibbin 2018-07-05 19:56:20 UTC
Description:
Whenever I open a new or existing file in Writer, the Word Count at the bottom of the screen never changes. Whether I type content or edit out words, it never changes. This has been the case for the last several months and the only work around I found was to assign an F# to the Word Count option, which pops open the correct word count and does reflect any changes.
I recently installed a fresh version of Windows 10 on my PC for this and other reasons but the issue remains.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open new or existing Writer document.
2.Type or delete several words.
3.Check Word Count at bottom of screen for any changes, use Word Count option (I assigned an F# to easily open it) to view changes in count.

Actual Results:
See above. It's pretty basic.

Expected Results:
See above. Word Count does not change.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
See above. Word Count should reflect changes in every document.

Hi mikemckibbin,

I don't reproduce on Windows 7.
There are two places where we find thoses stats: the first is Tools > statisticrs and the second is File > Propertics: Statistics tab. Counts are theys working there? If yes, can you restart LO with a new profile or use "Restart in safe mode..." in Help menu, which is equivalent to see if that produce a change?
Thank you.

If as I suspect this is with OpenGL rendering enabled (default on Windows with GPU that support it) this is a dupe and has been fixed for the 6.0.6 build and 6.1.0 and master/6.2

If disabling OpenGL rendering and restarting does not clear things--reopen.

When I Restart in Safe Mode, Word Count does work fine. So it looks like it's something in the customizing or profile settings, something I changed?

Not sure what OpenGL is or how to change it...

Issue resolved. Once I unchecked (disabled) OpenGL option per comment below and restarted LO, Word Count works. Thanks.

I looked up OpenGL and followed the easy instructions on Wikihow and issue was resolved. Thanks.
