Description Robert Großkopf 2012-12-08 15:03:52 UTC
Open a database in LO 4.0.0.0 beta1.
Open menu File.
There are, under the entry "Save all", some entries, which aren't menu-entries ("This is the action to create a private working copy      of the
document on the server ...")

 [Reproducible] with parallel installation of  "LOdev  4.0.0.0.beta1   -  GERMAN UI / German Locale  [Build ID: 87906242e87d3ddb2ba9827818f2d1416d80cc7)]"  {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-12-06} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with separate /4 User Profile for Master Branch.
Same bug in English UI
Comment 2 Roman Eisele 2012-12-15 11:00:14 UTC
Also REPRODUCIBLE on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel) with 4.0.0.0beta1.

But IMHO this problem is not limited to Base -- I see the same wrong menu entries also in the File menus of Writer and Calc. I will attach screenshot showing these wrong entries (it is always useful to see what we are talking about ;-).

Hint: This bug is *not* related to any corrupted local settings, etc. -- resetting both the “LibreOffice” and the “LOdev" user profile before testing does not change the results.

Related to Bug 58019#c2?

In Bug 58019c2 András told that currently translations are out of sync., what might cause lots of similar problems,even if in the particular menu the number of items is matching between the languages
Comment 7 Roman Eisele 2012-12-15 11:34:55 UTC
In bug 58332, which I have marked as a duplicate of the present one, Christoph Sold analyzes this issue as following:

> The Help text for Menu items
>   File - Save all
> and 
>  File - Check out
> appears as menu item, rendering the menu wider than most screens.

The idea that the wrong menu entries are just the help text strings seems compelling to me. Therefore I modify the Summary field accordingly.

The observation makes me doubt if this is really just a translations problem ...

Screenshot: Correct (?) menu "File" - LOdev build dated 2012-11-15

However, I am not sure if the two long menu entries visible now in the File menu are really the help texts for “File - Save all” and “File - Check out”; the texts visible on my two screenshots don’t fit as help texts for Save All ...

This screenshot shows one of the last daily builds before the problem first appeared; it is dated from 2012-11-5. It shows some new entries in the File menu:
after “Save All”, we read
  Check-Out
  Cancel Check-Out...
  Check-In...

So I would guess that the two long and wrong menu entries are the help texts for “Check-Out” and “Check-In...”, and are show in error in the place of these two menu entries.
Comment 9 Andras Timar 2012-12-15 17:44:12 UTC
It was just a typo, developer wrote xml_lang instead of xml:lang. The help text is really for the translators, not for end-users.

@ András:
Thank you very much for fixing this issue!

Well, quite some bugs (including important ones) are “just typos” ;-)
