Description Dagmara 2020-01-05 21:03:46 UTC
Description:
I restarted Writer in safe mode and the language of the UI changed to default (in my case - Polish). When I tried to change the language to English, it forces to restart LO, but it restarts in normal mode. I restarted Writer in safe mode and the situation repeated - UI was in Polish. It seems as if it was impossible to set the language for safe mode.

Steps to Reproduce:
0. UI LO in English, default language of Windows - Polish
1. Help -> restart in safe mode -> confirm -> continue in safe mode
2. UI changed to default language (my case - Polish)
3. Tools -> options -> language settings -> languages -> English (US)
4. forces restart to change the language
5. Restarts in normal mode
6. Repeat step 1.
7. Again in default language

Actual Results:
User is unable to set any other language than default language in safe mode

Expected Results:
The user should have an option either to choose default language settings or to keep the previously chosen language settings


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I think there is a report for improving the options setting, so no restarts would be needed for any option. I can't find the report now.

I don't think anything like this should be added to Safe mode.

Normal mode and safe mode use different user profiles, thus there is no way to exchange data between them.
Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX
