Description Florian Effenberger 2012-08-12 11:58:52 UTC
At least if no window is open, i.e. the start center is active, the menu entry for "Zuletzt benutzte Dokumente" is shown with an additional tilde (~) at the beginning, like this:

~Zuletzt benutzte Dokumente
Comment 1 Roman Eisele 2012-08-16 09:29:48 UTC
Thank you very much for your bug report!

However, I can't cofirm this: no tilde (~) visible before the menu item in question with LibreOffice 3.6.0.4, German UI, on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel).

@Florian Effenberger:
-- Which MacOS X version do you use?
-- Can you please try to rename your LibO user profile folder temporarily (see
     <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#User_profile_location>
   for advice)? It would be interesting to know if this changes the situation ...
Thank you very much in advance!

Oh, sorry -- I *can* reproduce this issue [REPRODUCIBLE] with the LibreOffice 3.6.0.4, German UI, on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel)! Sorry!

But there is a little difference (which explains why I first failed to reproduce the issue):

I don't see the ~ as long as the Start Center is open/visible; only when I close *all* LibreOffice windows, including the Start Center, LibreOffice shows only three menues: [Apple] -- LibreOffice -- File, and in the File menu (German "Datei"), the entry "~Zuletzt benutzte Dokumente" really does start with a tilde.

@Florian Effenberger:
Can you please confirm if the tilde is only visible when even the Start Center is closes, or do you see the tilde in front of "~Zuletzt benutzte Dokumente" even when the Start Center window is open and active? Thank you

I'm on 10.8 (Mountain Lion). Removing the user profile did not help.
Be advised that this problem ONLY exists if there is NO document opened, AND the start center is NOT opened. (Just discovered that, my initial reports reads different)

So, to reproduce:
Open LibreOffice -> Start Center appears
Push Cmd+W to close the Window -> LibO is open without any Window
Look at the "Datei" menu
Comment 4 Florian Effenberger 2012-08-16 09:38:52 UTC
Indeed, my first report was a bit buggy itself :) I can confirm I only see the problem when no window is opened, even the start center needs to be closed

Thank you very much for confirming this! So we can be sure that we see exactly the same issue.

Observations:

The tilde is NOT present when I set the LibreOffice UI language to US English, therefore this is really a bug in the German localization.

This bug was NOT present in LibO 3.4.6, but I can REPRODUCE it with LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 (Build-ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da2) and the German langpack, so it was introduced already in 3.5.x. Because of this, I adjust the version field and add the 'regression' keyword.

@Andras:

You are our expert for localization fixes. Can you please take a look at this issue? It is, of course, a very minor one and not urgent, but still giving a bad user experience, and probably very easy to fix ...

Thank you very much in advance!

It is a translation bug. I fixed it in Pootle, but there is no guarantee that it will not come back later. It is up to the translators to keep translations tidy.

Thank you very much for fixing it, and so fast!

I know ... we will keep an eye on this particular item.
Comment 8 Roman Eisele 2012-08-29 09:20:31 UTC
Fixed in LibreOffice 3.6.1.2 (Build ID: e29a214), therefore marking as resolved/fixed.
Comment 9 Roman Eisele 2012-08-29 09:21:40 UTC
Assigned post-mortem to Andras -- to give him the honour of fixing this ;-)
