Description ady 2023-03-19 14:13:13 UTC
Based on
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128557

...that was implemented for AOO 4.1.14.

Repro in LO as of 7.4.5.

If there is no info in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > User Data > "First/last name/initials", looks slightly worse than described in the original AOO ticket.

To be clear, the original issues are also present in Calc too as of LO 7.5.x.

Comment 5 ady 2023-03-24 13:44:00 UTC
The original problem still persists. "Unknown Author" is shown now, but the original problem is _not_ solved.
Comment 6 ady 2023-04-04 22:53:57 UTC
Quoting (partially, with edition) from original report for AOO...

Notice that:
(1)
There is a colon at the end of the first line/part.
Keep in mind the French might require a leading space
(":" is hardcoded...) and that Writer doesn't display
the colon in a callout.

Could the content of the callout really be misunderstood
without the colon?


(2)
there is a superfluous space after "("
in the line describing the recorded change.
The Accept or Reject Changes dialog doesn't show it.
Expected result:
no colon (1) and no space (2).

[end quote]

Potential code points (based on the original bug report for AOO):
libreoffice-7.5.1.2/sc/source/ui/view/gridwin5.cxx

As of LO 7.5.1.2, line 132 " " and line 134 ":\n".

As I am not a developer, this might not be accurate or enough.

Dear ady,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
