Description rayandrews@eastlink.ca 2018-11-21 02:07:12 UTC
In case anyone is interested the 'XINERAMA' bug of old is still there in the latest Debian upgrade, that's version 1:5.2.7-1 of libreoffice.  It seems this has been around for ages and is not considered important, but I thought I'd mention it.  I'm now using abiword for .docx files, and it works fine.

Your LO is end of live
Can you retest with a still version or a fresh LibreOffice

best regards
Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2018-11-21 11:07:51 UTC
Just for information, last stable LO version is 6.1.3 (I think it's the version I got in Debian testing) so perhaps the bug is fixed now.

But since you use Abiword now, I suppose you don't care.

Which exact bug? When referencing other bugs, please always mention which number it is.

Julien, all:

I'm using Debian Stable.  This bug, I don't have any 'number' for it, but for years, when I try libreoffice it does not work and it's always the same message about XINERAMA, I presume you guys know this bug, if you Google it, many others have the same problem.  I have triple monitors but I don't use xinerama at all.  I care about the bug if you care about it.  Abiword is much more limited, it does my exact need to read .docx but  I would prefer libreoffice if it can work.  Latter if I have time I'll try a newer version and let you know if it works.  Thanks.

It's fixed guys, thanks.
Comment 7 Xisco Faulí 2018-12-04 22:39:17 UTC
Thanks for retesting with the latest version.
Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
Comment 8 rayandrews@eastlink.ca 2018-12-04 23:11:12 UTC
Yeah, dunno, maybe you guys should update Debian or whatever the protocols might be.  Anyway, happy that libreoffice now works, I've been trying for years.
