Description Petr Mladek 2011-03-25 10:00:43 UTC
This is the Meta issue to track most annoying bugs for the release of LibO
3.4.x releases. It helps developers to concentrate on bugs that are important for users. Also it helps users to be aware of potential problems.

If anyone wants to raise an Bug for the release, please add the Bug ID as
dependent Bug here to the Meta Bug in field "Depends on". Additionally please
leave a comment here why you think that the bug should be privileged.

See also http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria
Comment 1 Petr Mladek 2011-03-25 10:07:47 UTC
Add bug 35671. Wiki help does not show the right pages and thus is hard to use.
Comment 2 Björn Michaelsen 2011-03-25 11:44:45 UTC
Depending on failing complex and unoapi tests:  35660, 35661, 35662, 35663, 35666, 35667.
Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-03-25 11:55:21 UTC
@Björn:
Can you please explain why you see bugs nominated by you as "most annoying ... that are important for users"?
Comment 4 Hillar 2011-03-25 12:12:16 UTC
35602: Reason is quite clear. I personaly know three people who have lost their hours of work.
Comment 5 Björn Michaelsen 2011-03-25 12:23:56 UTC
@Rainer: please see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-March/009626.html

35668 is a  well reproducible crasher and should be fixed in any case.

The others are not that critical IMHO, but keeping the complex and unoapi tests clean is a very valid goal. Luckily, because there are tests for these, they should be rather easy to fix.

Well, I would prefer to link here only bugs that really annoys people and breaks their daily work. Otherwise, we would end up with all bugs linked here and the purpose of the meta bug would be gone ;-)

If you are going to fix them any time soon or you think that they point to serious problems, feel free to keep them linked.
Comment 7 Björn Michaelsen 2011-03-26 04:13:46 UTC
Removed all bugs but 35668 here as they seem not absolutely critical.

All subsequenttest bugs have now their own metabug:

Bug 31606-PRINTING selected pages of long documents pick up the wrong pagerange

It's really a pain to have a text processor that has difficulties (or better: is not able) to print correctly selected pages
Comment 9 Vossman 2011-03-31 06:14:49 UTC
I would like to nominate: Bug 34814 "Bullet lists in .docx are loaded incorrectly", it already has some patches that need to be tested.

Please add: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33522
[CALC] [PRINT] Option “Print only selected sheets” does not work in “Page Preview” mode
A large number of pages can be involuntarily printed instead of a single page (Very boring when the printer is in another room).
Comment 11 Tobias Burnus 2011-04-04 02:06:30 UTC
I would like to nominate bug 33463 [.docx no comments saved] as replacement for bug 35602 (cf. comment 4).

(Both bugs are the same, except that the latter has now been marked as duplicate of the former. Hence, the latter (bug 35602) appears as CLOSED in the dependency list.)
Comment 12 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2011-04-04 22:30:50 UTC
Well, bug 33522 being a duplicate of bug 32826, I would like nominate bug 32826 for the same reason : "A large number of pages can be involuntarily printed instead of a single page (Very boring when the printer is in another room)".
Comment 13 Fran 2011-04-05 05:02:27 UTC
bug 35345 (Cells hidden with filters get changed)

A user unaware of the problem can lose data, as the expected behavior when you filter is that the hidden cells don't get modified.

This is a feature request thus should not be considered a stopper bug.  Plus this requires non-trivial change, too risky for 3.4 especially after the feature freeze.

And there is a patch in OpenOffice. From http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89232#c27:

"Fixed in CWS calc66, based on a patch from the IBM Symphony team. Filtered rows
are skipped, and if there are filtered rows, the default is copying instead of
incrementing."
Comment 19 sasha.libreoffice 2011-04-13 06:54:39 UTC
Bug 35017: LibreOffice resets all information about user assigned keyboard shortcuts while start. Users therefore can not assign any keyboard shortcuts permanently.
Comment 20 Petr Mladek 2011-04-14 01:57:44 UTC
Add bug 33915: user settings get lost after several restarts; It is quite annoying. Unfortunately, it is hard to fix because we still do not have a reasonable way to reproduce it.

Comment 35 Christian Lohmaier 2011-04-24 14:56:08 UTC
36551 surely is a blocker, as the user must be able to install 3.4.0 when the user already was a user of LO 3.3.2, either as update (i.e. removes 3.3.2) or alongside 3.3.2 (having both 3.3.2 as well as 3.4.0 installed)

Bug 34910 langpack becomes several times larger and has problem with installation (because one file already installed)
Comment 37 Zack 2011-04-25 13:27:54 UTC
Seeing as this is an annoying bug list and not a blocker bug list, I'd like to nominate Bug 36439 as an annoying bug.  Since it involves a new feature, I think new features should work correctly before shipping a new product.

It affects more locations and should get fixed => adding to the list
Comment 40 Zack 2011-04-27 15:00:53 UTC
Bug 36613.  It's a regressive bug that's annoying but certainly not a blocker.  If people vehemently disagree with adding this bug to the list feel free to remove it.
Comment 41 Zack 2011-04-27 15:21:40 UTC
Bug 36615.  Regressive bug that is very annoying.

Adding Bug 36275 - LibO 3.4b1-b2 fails to start with "symbol lookup error": undefined symbol: sal_detail_initialize.

Bugs don't get much more serious that the program failing to start at all.

Comment 49 Michael Meeks 2011-05-03 02:30:05 UTC
There are a number of bugs here that are long standing, and not regressions, so - annoying as they are I don't believe we should really focus on fixing them for 3.4:

bug #32672, bug #32862, bug #34814, bug #36547

So - I nominate them for removal :-)
Comment 50 Petr Mladek 2011-05-03 07:19:33 UTC

Comment 52 clio 2011-05-03 12:54:25 UTC
Consider Bug 35706 – Ctrl F, Ctrl Alt F doesn't work in Basic IDE
Also, in Draw and Writer components, when the Draw panel is active, the Find toolbar doesn't have enough space whith Default icons and 1280*800 screen resolution. IMHO, this patch is not stable for release yet.
Also note these Basic IDE bugs: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30545#c7

And this bug:  Bug 35480 – Curves have round control points with black background
(the solution is to use the picture markers2.png from hg.services.openoffice.org or to save it with options given in the bug) The fix for the filter would be better, but as far as it is not fixed, IMHO, the picture should be fixed, because it is publicly visible contrary to the hidden bug with PNG exporting that appears in very rare cases.
Comment 53 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2011-05-03 14:12:20 UTC
I would like nominate bug 36519 : it is may be received as a very bad signal by ODF adepts.

Is there any bug number for this?

I suggest to open separate bugs for the problems. In general, it is a bad idea to discuss to many problems in a single bug. It usually results in a mess. It takes a long to read the history. It is easy to miss important information or lost track of what is fixed and what still need to be fixed, ... Short and clear bugs usually more motivates developers to work on them.
 
> And this bug:  Bug 35480 – Curves have round control points with black

It is a minor issue, no duplicates, no other interested people in CC (except for two developres). I am sorry but it does not fit into the group of most annoying bugs.

This is not the right place to discuss solution of a particular bug. It is better to add comment to the bug.

> There are a number of bugs here that are long standing, [...]

On <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria#Blocker_Bug_Nomination> this bug is listed as blocker tracking task, and I believe we should 
- "redefine" it as a 3.4.0 blocker tracking task
- remove bugs that do not fulfill blocker definition with a pseudo keyword in 
  the whiteboard "former 3.4 mab" (or similar), because most of them are not
  really blockers, but may be bugs with superior severity, so that tracking of 
  them can be continued easily

Currently we have several bugs without any realistic chance to be fixed in 3.4. listed here, I see your proposals as such ones (may be except "Bug 34814 - Bullet lists in .docx are loaded incorrectly", IMHO.

I agree with your suggestion.

Additional candidates for removal IMHO might be:
Bug 36613 - LO 3.4 Beta 2 - Hover over icons produces the wrong behavior
Bug 35706 - Ctrl F, Ctrl Alt F doesn't work in Basic IDE in LibO version dev300m103
Bug 35017 - Shortcuts that can not be modified permanently should be marked
Bug 36262 - Undo BrOffice, return to LibreOffice
Bug 36439 - Find Toolbar won't close if left open
Bug 36519 - For default saving options, ODF format is replaced by the filter names (writer8, calc8, etc.)
Bug 36547 - Impress: Rendering problems with some .odp files
Bug 36551 - 3.4beta2 can neither be installed as update to 3.3.2 nor alongside 3.3.2 because of packaging conflicts
Bug 36676 - sourroundig lines in paragraphs are missing
Bug 36662 - Missing icons (option controls) in right click > Wrap over an image

Nominating https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32709

This bug is a regression from OOo that means no file exported as ppt format can be opened by a MS Office product that has up to date patches.

It has been around since December and affects every version ever made of LibreOffice, but does not affect any version of OpenOffice as far as I am aware, and I have installed all the betas and several nightlies as well as releases.

The bug has clear and defined test cases, and it should be relatively simple to find where the regression occurred, because it happened very early on and only affects a fairly specific part of LibreOffice.

This bug/improvement is regarding Suppression of Blank Lines (fields) in Addresses when merging from Database into a Text Document to print Envelopes and Labels.  Without this amendment users have to work out how to suppress blank lines using special codes and because the codes have to be added at the "Prepare to Print"  drop down box stage, it is impossible to back track after you have entered the print cycle

How much I support the wish for that feature: it will not make it to the list of most annoying bugs. This list really is focused on must-repairs for the next release. Very useful improvements, do not apply for that.

I am afraid that we have other bugs that are more annoying for more users. I do not think that this one belongs here.

Kohei provided the fix and we plan to use it for LO-3.4.0-rc2.

Anyway, I think that it was not blocker because it happened only with the particular function. Similar bugs used to be even in older final releases. Note that this is the purpose of the time-based release to do not wait for every single fix that affects only limited number of users. It is better to fix them in more frequent bug fix releases.

Hmm, I am afraid that it does not fit here. I understand that it is very annoying for the reporter but I doubt that it affects a big group of other users. Also there is a comment that the behavior is random. These bugs are usually very hard to debug. In the real life, such bugs are often fixed only when another better reproducible scenario is found.

Comment 153 NX 2011-06-23 00:03:07 UTC
I don't know if this is the correct place to add a mention of one or more annoying bugs in the current 3.4.0 release, but i have to add something annoying.

In LibreOffice Calc 3.4.0 there is an issue concerning cell borders.

When i create a table in Calc and give personalized cell borders in the formatting cell dialog, i get the correct cell borders. I want to use vertical borders with double line (one thin and one thick next to each other). After formatting everything is fine, i save the file on a network drive and close Calc.

My next question is: Where can i add feature requests?

Feel free to move my comment, my experience with this bugzilla is not so good.
But after reopening the file these cell borders disappered and i have to reformat the cells again. With big tables this is a quite waste of time.

@NX:
For a novice starting his comment with  "I don't know" you really modify settings with stupendous courage ;-)
Of course this is not the correct place, and please do not touch Bugzilla pickers if you do not know exactly for what they are.

You can get information on
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport>
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details>
I recommend to post questions on [tdf-discuss] or a user mailing list, I do not understand your border Problem. If discussion on a user mailing list has a result, you can file a new bug report, or you will find someone in the discussion who will do it for you, or you can ask me by personal mail with a draft of your bug report.

For an enhancement request I recommend the same proceeding, present your idea in a mailing list (may be someone is already working on it).

The work-around is simple enough *when you know it*, but it is not a natural idea that comes to one's mind when one encounters the problem.

Hi Everyone,

may be this issue is related to this old one
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467181

whose title was "PDF/A export broken - Adobe Acrobat reports Invalid
ColorSpace" and the fix (take a look to comment 11) would be the same because it's a new regression?

Also - wrt. most annoyingness, a bug being a regression is a huge issue here - and it seems there is a suitable workaround for 40854 - so I recommend dropping it. Thanks for suggesting it though, it does sound annoying :-)

Sorry, I just read to much strictly the first post "please add the Bug ID as
dependent Bug here to the Meta Bug in field "Depends on"." without noticing that everyone add bugs in comment.

I didn't knew the workaround but I still think that bug should be solved because it's really disappointing when you select two draws at page 100 and you always move to page 30 and select another draw. This behavior always make me thing "It's not really a bug; it's an undocumented feature".

If you still think that bug should be drop, I let you removing from "Depends on". No prob.

"Bug 42339 - EDITING and VIEWING cell borders differs from expected and print" exists at least since OOo 1.1.4., so I can't see any founding why this one should have become such a high priority suddenly.

"33634 - VIEWING: No difference between cell border 0,5pt and 1,0pt" is rated as "minor" in the bug, so I also can't see any reason for a listing here. 

Both ones are too far away from a blocker to be listed here, because of that I remove them.

Bug 42259
Crash if copying a cell from Lotus Notes or OOo.
Occurs on Ms-windows and Linux (x86).
Occurs every time, if cell has formatting.  (colour and/or font size)
If content is special copied to paste as plain text, no problem.

Would guess that is related to some change in format with LibO, since copying a similar cell from LibO to OOo also crashes OOo.

Data copied to LibO should always be filtered to ensure that it is validly formatted for LibO.  No matter what the source.

Such performance improvement would be too big change for 3.4. It affects only limited group of users, so it even does not belong to the most annoying bugs. Kohei will try to fix it for LO-3.5.

Although the change is intended, it breaks compatibility to earlier versions and to Excel import.

Additionally it is already tagged as EasyHack.

Comment 249 Stephan Hennig 2012-01-14 03:08:41 UTC
Added #37561.

Rationale:

Duden Korrektor is a commercial extension (ca. 20 Euro) providing various language tools for the German language that in many tests out-performed all other similar contestants.  The extension is available for LibreOffice, OpenOffice and Microsoft Office and is important for German professional writers as well as many 'regular' German writers.

Not being able to install the extension in LibO 3.4.0 to 3.4.4 makes for a /very/ bad user experience.  Guess what users relying on that extension will stay with or switch to?

As far as I can see from the discussion in #37561, a fix (adding missing symbols) should be relatively simple.

Thanks,

Nominate: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36876 which should be, if it that's not clear, OpenOffice bug 13791. It prevents import of .doc with table.

Nominate: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38261 because current LO's Find&Replace doesn't take care of original word case and it doesn't preserve
capitalisation. But, it should be overall enhanced, just like "Alternative Find & Replace" extension which doesn't work properly on LO anymore.

@Timur
Please do not "nominate", nobody will check such nominations. Consider wise, add a bug or do not add it.

Enhancement Requests do not sound like "most annoying"

I think that bug 40289, bug 36742 and bug 45078 are the same one.

I just test them with:
- LibreOffice 3.4.5 rc2 (= final), linux x86-64 rpm build, on OpenSuSE 12.1, kernel 3.1.0, updated, Gnome, ita GUIed;

- LibreOffice 3.5.0 beta3 and rc1, win32 build, on my Windows Vista
64 bit, SP2, updated, ita GUIed;

and I obtained always the same result: the bug is still here.

Now I try with 3.5.0 RC1, I posti here test results and then I add them to Most
Annoying 3.4 and 3.5 ones.

I think they may hide a bad table width initialization and tick and color
management. This affect quality and people LibreOffice quality ideas.

Tables and default table width are too often used to yield many document and
their exported PDFs so that people may easily decide because the border bug
that LibreOffice is still too young to be adopted and so they may decide to
unistall it putting all our efforts trough the window!

It's a big pity! So that I add them to most annoying one.

Add "Bug 44208 - CRASH when click Tools -> Options with UI [ta_IN], [hi_IN] and other [xx_IN]", very ugly crash affecting lots of WIN users who can not use LibO with this issue
Comment 254 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-01-29 01:54:58 UTC
I add "Bug 45355 - CRASH if characters in text of BENGALI, TIBETAN, MALAYALAM, MARATHI, NEPALI, TAMIL, TELUGU", LibO is unusable for several Asian languages.

Added Bug 39724, without the necessary change to the Windows installer (to include XML filters in the default installation), Flat ODF (XML) fails to work on Windows.

Please don't change the fields in this bug. It is a meta bug and covers all platforms.
Comment 257 tommy27 2012-04-12 23:07:54 UTC
since 3.4.x cicle is terminated and all the still 3.4.x open bugs have been moved to the 3.5. MAB page I suggest to close this bug.
Comment 258 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-04-12 23:20:24 UTC
oops, forgot this final step.

@tommy27:
thank you for the hint.
Comment 259 Björn Michaelsen 2012-04-13 01:05:27 UTC
... and there was much rejoicing!
Comment 260 Michael Meeks 2012-04-13 01:40:16 UTC
Thanks Rainer for all that careful work ! :-) and on with the MAB fixing in 3.5 ...
Comment 261 Roman Eisele 2012-08-28 11:04:41 UTC
Set status to CLOSED/FIXED, in order to make it really obvious (especially for beginners) that no more bugs should be added to this tracking bug.

Hi all,

The MAB docs on the wiki have been updated to reflect the new
Priority-based system for categorizing bugs:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Most_Annoying_Bugs

The old MAB tracker bugs (mab4.3, mab4.4, etc.) will remain in
Bugzilla for historical reference, but should be ignored for current
work.
