This is a meta issue to track the most annoying bugs in LibreOffice 4.2.x releases. It helps developers to focus on bugs that are most critical for users. Also it helps users to be aware of potential problems. If anyone wants to raise a bug as “most annoying” for the release, please add the ID of that bug to the field “Depends on”, leave a short description of the bug, and explain in few words why that bug should get privileged, for example: Add bug #XXXXX: Writer ignores page size setting. The default size is Letter. The document format is often broken when printing on A4 paper in Europe. For details, criteria and further instructions, please see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Most_Annoying_Bugs
In nominate 60245 , add better autocomplete (ie intellisense) for Calc functions.
Justin - most annoying bugs are something like blocker bugs; and enhancements like bug#60245 are not really appropriate unless this is cripplingly debilitating. Also - such bugs belong on the MAB list of the oldest version that they affect; thanks for filing though !
Nominating 65924, makes the Writer really ugly. Cannot fix myself in the following few days, so better to track it properly :-)
Adding bug 66703 (Base): report design wizard silently does not start on MacOS X.
Really add the bug #66703.
Adding bug 67047 – badly looking About window, since this might mean the SVG reader has regressed.
Add bug 67128: Auto Filter Sort Results in Crash Add bug 66700: Crash when deleting field added in Report Design mode
Added Bug 67743 - can't save new autocorrect entries a basic Writer functionality is broken
Nominate bug 68512 "Open button and File Open stopped working" and bug 68552 "[FILEOPEN] XML filter: Excel-2007 XML file don't open", because these are a regression into the Master release: a) bug 68512 – between 21st (ID:e8c0708ee9d0c01cbe0bdcb38ac14e34bdceef32, TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch: master, Time: 2013-08-21_20:26:24) and 23rd (ID:45ef1eda9e8851d454237d91b7fc46299fd621eb, TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch: master, Time: 2013-08-23_07:32:04) August; b) bug 68552 – between 13rd (ID:73c02c20b19702dbe662fe0d80601049f015d8ac, TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch: master, Time: 2013-08-13_21:26:14) and 21st (ID:e8c0708ee9d0c01cbe0bdcb38ac14e34bdceef32, TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch: master, Time: 2013-08-21_20:26:24) August.
@kendy: Adding error 69517 "LibreOfficeDev-4.2.0.0 (Win-x86@39) cannot start under Windows XP" because it is not possible testing program on Windows XP 32\64-bit, which are supported (look at readme.txt file). -- ape
(In reply to comment #10) > @kendy: > Adding error 69517 -- Sorry, bug 69517
@kendy: Sorry, that's my confusion. I found the Assembly log file, which specifies to use MSVCR-2012u1. The LibreOfficeDev-4.2.0.0_ Win-x86@39 runs on Windows XP 32\64-bit after installing MSVCR-2012 update3. So is FIXED. -- ape
Adding 70664 - can not display images inserted into Firebird embedded db
I nominate bug 70596 because we can't ask users to have users / testers to live with broken packages on their install.
Hereby I nominate Bug 71321 - Can't scroll down in Calc and Writer on Mac osx A blocker for Mac OSX users.
adding Bug 70449 - StartCenter: it is not possible to easily navigate through recent used files with the keyboard
Bug 62461 added because the API does not use a PNG image that is embedded in the ODF file in addition to SVG drawing.
added 70989 only because it's a new feature - not terribly annoying but the new statistics function doesn't correctly show the cell range selected in "output" range, instead it only shows the first cell of the selection. For a new feature we probably should have it working right out the gate :-D
I add bug 71584 - FILEOPEN: FORMATTING: formatting error in a file with two tables Interestingly this old 4.0.x bug seems fixed in 4.1.3.2 but still affects the 4.2.x branch (including 4.2.0.0.alpha1+ Time: 2013-11-15_23:44:51)
Adding fdo#71694 can't create Index and tables in pre 4.1.4.
added bug 72037 - LO 4.2: Wizards "Document Converter" and "Euro Converter" not working.
Added bug 67576 "impossible to set printing page size manually". The actual paper size, which is set in the printer properties, is ignored. It is broken since version 4.1.2. The problem has produced several bug reports. Besides the here added 67576 it seems, that the following bugs are duplicate or at least related: bug 67727 "PRINTING: Paper Size and Orientation Fail in Brochure and Multi-Up Printing" bug 67903 "Print dialog preview in Draw does not update with paper size change" bug 72070 "Other: Page size when printing" bug 71803 "PRINTING: Printing envelopes does not respect user inputted sizes" bug 70676 "PRINTING: Difficulties with combining smaller pages on a bigger one"
Nominating bug 72005 : Background color for legend area hides the legend This regression may suggest that some data are lost, so a bad user experience.
Adding Bug 42709: Animated GIFs are not displayed correctly in Impress, while they are displayed correctly in Writer. This is a regression.
Nominating bug 72022 : this regression make impossible to access the integrated / local help.
Regression bug 71714 EDITING: Small capitals are showed like capitals in editor from 4.1...
adding bug 72279 "When you update the Index the words A) 1) and I) dissapear in LoDEV, in 4.1 works perfectly"
adding bug 72287 [TEMPLATE MANGER] / [UI] selecting available templates not possible below the second row in the list
Adding regression bug 72288, matrix case insensitive string comparisons don't work anymore.
Add bug #72072: Text disappear when editing a 90deg Textbox. This feature worked without problems in LO 4.0.x. So it may prevent users to update to the most actual version.
Add bug #67388: There is a broken Debian menu integration because of wrong file permissions
I add Bug 72530 - Certain graphics lost in PDF export if lossless compression used. Regression from the 4.1.x branch, affects Windows and Linux.
Adding Bug 60870: The custom dictionary is not initialized at startup
Nominating Bug 72452 - Other: Page Number begins at 0. Just compare the different page numbering in the recently published "LibreOffice 4.1 Draw Guide", DG41-DrawGuideLO.odt[1] – at first with LO v4.1.3.2 (correct), and then with LO-Dev v4.2.0.0.beta2 (messed up). [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Draw_Guide (Full book 4.1.x branch)
Regression bug 72628 EDITING: Wrong font rendering of SVG graphics in the editor (PDF export is fine) from 4.1
Adding bug 72647 regression in UAA <-> Windows Java Accessibility API JAB bridge as potential Windows build release blocker--Accessibility regression
Adding Startup is slow due to the new startcenter, not confirmed but really important
add Bug 72788 - Clear direct formatting over more paragraphs freezes LibreOffice
Adding bug 72778 - switching default locale leads to weird number format codes behavior.
Nominated bug 72776 - appears like we have a new chart feature coming through (circles of some kind) but it's quite broken. Doesn't work at all in 4.1, in 4.2 and 4.2 it's just broken and shows incorrect charts + missing data
nominated bug 72953 - chart legends aren't showing up on a file that they show up in 4.1, confirmed regression, very popular feature. This might even be a blocker to be honest but I left it as a critical
I nominate bug 72741 because it is a severe performance regression in sorting. Best regards. JBF
Add bug 72632 : Formula (Math) inserted in Writer have wrong subscript position It makes almost Math formula unusable in Writer
Adding: bug 73095 - Writer's UI crashes when scrolling pages if formatting marks are visible; bug 72961 - LibO-4.2 is crashed when you open ODFver.1.0\1.1 created by LibO-3.5\6
Nominate: "Bug 73113 - LOOKUP function results in #N/A"
adding Bug 73162 - FORMATTING: The Entry # dissapears from the Entry in the TOC when adding text separators
Adding correctly #72632 Formula (Math) inserted in Writer have wrong subscript position It makes almost Math formula unusable in Writer
Add bug 73001 Quick functions in status bar in Calc are wrong if multiple selection
adding Bug 73355 - FILEOPEN: Draw 4.2 corrupts figures combined in previous version
adding Bug 73436 - FILEOPEN Interaction on image (jump to slide #) lost on opening
adding Bug 73614 - UI: when vertical scrolling a sheet with the scrollbar the screen is not refreshed from the first row that was not displayed makes scrolling ungly and very user unfriendly
Nominating please 50855 (similar to 71783) which regressed somewhere between 4.1.4 and 4.2-beta2. We have thousands of documents that are broken because Nimbus Sans font does not render correctly. There is no reasonable work around and we literally will not be able to upgrade over this issue.
I nominate bug 73618 which make PresenterConsole unusable (Regression).
Temporary removing dev-list for bulk change.
Readding developer list after bulk change.
Nominating bug 73814 - PNG files in Writer badly distorted regression over 4.1.3.2
I nominate bug 65138, the sidebar meta-bug. Since sidebar is on by default in 4.2, all the issues with it gain a lot more visibility, and we can't hide behind the excuse of it being experimental anymore. A few bugs listed there are relatively innocent, while others can distort formatting (like bug 68806) or cause crashes (bug 67558, if it gets confirmed), meaning it gets really annoying pretty soon.
Bug 73235 makes the Calc Function Wizard quite useless.
added bug 74009 PRINTING: Long text flowing outside a Cell not printed
Hereby I nominate 'Bug 74014 - Editing: Cell formula not updating on redo, even with a forced recalculation'
Add bug 72962 It was solved in 4.2.0 RC2 but reappeared in 4.2.0 RC3 Sum button in Calc gives #REF

add Bug 74041 - Calc crashes when inserting a column
Add bug 69244 Formula link to other sheet not updated in some case Very difficult to detect such behavior for user. Bug bibisected
Added bug 56847 Working with videos in presentation is essential functionality and has been broken for a long time on OSX.
#65070 please add this bug - page background graphic is not displayed
#66581 - please add this bug - embedded objects are not imported from XLSX
#73994 - please add this bug - ODS are about 12 times bigger than imported XLSX
Bug 46933 Makes LibreOffice Writer unusable for scientific writing. References inside frames, for example figure captions, are broken.
Nominating bug 73860 - all spaces lost during font conversation.
#73860 and #50855 seem possibly related : spacing between characters during font render. Nimbus Sans and Helvetica are similar fonts.
please add #65074 _____________________________________________________________________________ bug is not entirely fixed in LibreOffice 4.2 _____________________________________________________________________________ XLSX cells with 2 conditional formatting rules are not displayed correctly: 1. p.ex. cell values =$H$13:$H$427 have a color scale 2. cell values equal or smaller than =MIN(H$13:H$428)*1,1 should be bold (Arial unicode, size 10) In LibreOffice 4.2 the second rule is bold but wrong font and not changeable Spreadsheet can be downloaded here: http://www.squeezechart.com/SqueezeChart2013-preview.xlsx _____________________________________________________________________________ Behavior before LibreOffice 4.2: _____________________________________________________________________________ cells with with conditional formatting sometimes show the numbers not centered and without points; cell borders are not shown (see for example I13 to I21..) Steps to reproduce: Spreadsheet can be downloaded here: http://www.squeezechart.com/SqueezeChart2013-preview.xlsx screenshot from Excel: http://www.squeezechart.com/spreadsheet-in-Excel-15.0.4420.png screenshot from LibreOffice: http://www.squeezechart.com/spreadsheet-in-LibreOffice-4.0.0.1.png Current behavior: cells with with conditional formatting sometimes show the numbers not centered and without points; cell borders are not shown Expected behavior: All cells in the main table must contain centered numbers with thousand points. Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.0.3.3 release
I nominate bug 63271 Clicking the "Apply" button should NOT close the hyperlink dialog.
added Bug 74318 - 'customize toolbar' broken basic UI feature not working at all in 4.2.0.4 and causing crash in 4.3.0.o.alpha+
Nominated bug 74325 - spreadsheet is losing comments upon save - regression
added Bug 74350 - The program’s Frost if the option ‘Expert Configuration’ is used (Windows only).
Added bug 74356, bug 74357, bug 74359 - Content piece of the table’s large cell is lost (FILEOPEN; DOC, DOCX, RTF filter).
Added Bug 72470. It hits pretty much every CJK user out there.
add Bug 74460 - Templatemanagement Dialog To Change/Edit Existing Template will crash LibreOffice
Add bug 74556, Calc crashes when undo inserted comments
Hi, adding bug#74573 (Paste Special skip empty cells broken)
I nominate bug 74333 : Textfield or Picture inside a chart is hidden That is a regression
Nominating 74553: regression vs. 4.1.4, dataloss
Nominating bug 74615: Formula expressions are altered => data loss.
Nominating bug 74616: Formula expressions are lost => data loss.
Add bug 74474 LibO freeze with Label Wizard
Nominating https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74479, SUMPRODUCT function treat empty cells as 1 when there are calculations or comparisons or functions as last parameter, and ranges with empty cells in others ranges.
added bug 74824, crash while inserting cells
Add bug 73544 update Catalan dictionaries and related resources; ca-ES and ca-ES-valencia locales
Add bug 74994, extracting a sheet to copy or move it lose some contents. Sophie
nominating 74979: seems to corrupt ~all sxc files on either load or safe, regression, 2 downstream dupes, one fdo dupe.
(In reply to comment #92) > nominating 74979: seems to corrupt ~all sxc files on either load or safe, > regression, 2 downstream dupes, one fdo dupe. sxc export has been removed on master, it's an ancient format superceded by .ods. Is this really worth a MAB? I think not.
I nominate Bug 75032 - Other: crash when undo 'delete row above' with comments in rows below
I'm nominating bug 74595: Opening HTML files that have <!DOCTYPE ...>s that are not on the first line of the file cause LibreOffice to show the HTML source code. To get the HTML contents to be displayed (instead of the source), I have to open the HTML file in a text editor and make sure <!DOCTYPE ...> is on the first line. The average user, though, doesn't know how to work with HTML code, and won't know how to get the file to work. So, I am nominating this for the LibreOffice 4.2 most annoying bugs list. I'm not the only one that experienced this issue (http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Importing-HTML-in-LO-4-2-td4095550.html).
Adding bug 71961, interoperability problem with many duplicates
I would endorse an enhancement regarding this bug. Although not severe, it has been coming up as an issue since Version 3.5.5.3. I suggest either: a) enable custom dictionary as a Writing Aid during initial installation. The manual equivalent is: Go to Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids>User-defined dictionaries and enable User defined dictionary "standard [ALL]") AND/OR b) if the above dictionary isn't enabled, but a user opts to add a word to the custom dictionary during spell-checking/correcting procedures, then the user is prompted to give the application permission to enable this dictionary. (In reply to comment #33) > Adding Bug 60870: The custom dictionary is not initialized at startup
Added https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75228 Ranges in COUNT() function are not well counted if there isn't a range as the last parameter of the function.
Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. ....open a LibO (writer) document. Copy and paste from within that LibO (writer) document to within that LibO document. 2. ....Open a web page or non-LibO document and copy web page text or url 3. ....Past that text/url into the still open LibO (writer) document Current behavior: The copied text from step 1 is pasted into the document Expected behavior: The copied text from the web page/non-LibO document should be pasted into the document. Current work around is to close all LibO documents, which clears the LibO clipboard. Re-open the LibO document and paste before doing any cut/copy from within LibO Previously reported in Bug 62196 which does not appear in current known bug list. Also see running issue in OpenOffice https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=60299 Successfully submited now as bug 70200
@Ed Barnat please do not discuss unrelated bugs here and do not change version field. this is the list for MOST ANNOYING BUGS of the 4.2.x branch. bugs about other branches have no place here.

Nominated bug 74087 - when misspelled word is in a cell, right clicking in the cell goes into edit the cell vs. opening the context menu, offering word suggestions, etc . . .
Can someone consider adding this bug to MAB 4.2 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75408 Formula in writer is shrinked instead of keeping same size when changing border space in writer style There is no workaround and i's a functionality loss
Should not bug 51819 be added here - critical security issue? I can't see it being followed elsewhere, apologies if I am mistaken.
Bug 73548 - text cut-off when exporting .odp to .pdf (OSX only) I would like to nominate this annoying bug.
I added the bug 75718 ‘function does not work Edit> Fill> Series> AutoFill’, because the important ‘AutoFill’ function has stopped working in LibreOffice-4.2.x. This is a regression to LibreOffice-4.1.5.
Nominated bug 75510 - 4.2 regression where settings are not being read correctly for error bars in x/y charts. Appears like data loss to users but the data is saved, just not called on correctly
Nominated bug 75815 - formulas are changing for links to external sheets which could be a nightmare if working on complex sheets. This is a regression in 4.2
Nomintated bug 75741 - changing named ranges is causing crashes and the crashes can be silent (no crash but when you try to save it then crashes). It's fixed in 4.3 but I wanted to put it here so it's backported (hopefully)
Add bug #64490: LibreOffice Writer text highligthing is not compatible with Microsoft Word DOC and DOCX (highlighting transforms to background color) This bug has very long history and it is a great interoperability problem. Please fix it as soon as possible. It breaks normal document exchange with MS Word users and drop negative light on LOO in MSO users eyes.
Added https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75951, cells references are changed without notice opening a xls file.
Please consider bug 74876: Pivot tables from OOXML documents can not be used It is really annoying and has a many duplicates.
Sorry, it should be Bug 58691, not bug 74876.

Nominating bug#72604 to the list. It's there since 4.1 or earlier and stays already in the master. The wizzard could not be used to create a fax since it was migrated to Python.
Moving bug 52433 (Memory leak when saving a doc text with many svm images) from MAB 4.1 to MAB 4.2 because LO 4.1 is reaching its End-Of-Life. Best regards. JBF

Symbols being imported incorrectly from docx files - this was reported in the past and then corrected, now it's broken again.
Added bug 78784 - Editing a simple draw object within writer and going to format->layer results in total crash. The bug has been around since the branch point (confirmed on 3.3.0.4) but none the less, nasty enough that I thought it belonged on the list. Thanks!
Added 78801 - very recent regression, affects 4.2.4.2 release and 4.3 master Copy + paste from website to writer results in no image being pasted. bibisected
Adding bug 53023. Autotexts get an unneccessary linebreak appended when created via "Autotext" > "New (Text only)". See also: bug 77482 (with screenshots) bug 63740 bug 53023 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=79861 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123748
Added bug 75694 - complete loss of comments for docx. Regression. Bibisected
Added bug 78904 - regression DOCX file opens fine but when you try to save it again as a docx it crashes LibreOffice. It's a pretty complex document (75+ pages) - I will tear it apart if asked to do so but a bibisect is available so maybe that's sufficient. I will ask OP to try to narrow down the document also.
added bug 78883 - regression, bibisected Pretty simple document is unable to be opened at all in LibreOffice. Might be a minor release regression (from the bibisect it seemed likely).
(In reply to comment #144) > added bug 78883 - regression, bibisected ...except that you actually removed it, too :) Adding it back.
May I suggest bug 78369?
Add bug 79441: sorting broken with references to other sheet. Regression introduce in 4.2.5
But 40780 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40780 ) makes sound useless on Linux, and has gone unfixed for years.

Nominate Bug 74834 : Option to disable documents thumbnails on the New Start Screen

(In reply to comment #167) > I nominate bug 49514: search/find/replace has been broken for many releases > when using footnotes in Writer. No. Issue of bug 49514 does not even appear valid with current 4.3.0 or 4.4.0.0alpha+ and the directional search of the reworked find bar and its navigate button. To be aMAB, the issue first needs to be confirmed and reworked with better STR and sample documents.

Regression - effects only 4.1 and 4.2 Bug 80813: Opening .ods crashes calc

I suggest this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80363: spellchecker works wrong if there are Cyrillic symbols in the path to Libre folder, appeared in 4.2.5.2 It makes LiO (especially Writer) unusable for many non-English users as they don't get why their documents are totally underlined as misspelled while others don't have this problem. The problem also migrated to 4.3.X.X
adding Bug 79332 - self-contained pivot table, dataloss after after save and reopen
adding Bug 79305 - FILESAVE: relative file hyperlinks saved as absolute
Is it realised that issue 67712 (bibisected) effectively makes use of form controls and drawing objects impossible in LibreOffice >= 4.1 ? Is setting 'Importance' appropriate to reflect that?
Added bug 76595 - regression Deleting an image from a docx file and then saving as a native odt results in the file reappearing after closing the file and reopening it. Test file and bibisect on bug
Nominating Bug 80846 : regression, affects some users Working in 4.1.6.2 and 4.2.4.2, but not working in 4.2.0.0.beta1, 4.2.5.2, 4.3.0.2
Added bug 63024 (FILESAVE FILEOPEN Writer does not preserve position of images in its own RTF files) LibreOffice can't handle rtf files with images.
Regression - worked in 4.1 Bug 81214: All endnote text is gone after a missing formula
Added bug 81008 - regression Serious data loss in a simple docx file. Bibisected with clear/easy reproducible steps.
Nominating 81336 - IS NULL SQL query no longer executes, returns "STATEMENT TOO COMPLEX" error message - regresion
I add Bug 81384 - FILEOPEN: Cells are missing importing RTF file regression between 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 releases
Adding bug 81416 - file corruption when writing to external storage - regression over 4.2.3.3 and 4.1.6.2
Added bug 75380 - FORMATTING: Can't Create a Border Around a Chart - it results in a loss of basic Calc functionality and is a broken feature that worked in 4.1
Added bug 81294 - A basic spreadsheet with formulas referencing another sheet. Inserting a sheet screws up the formulas.
Nominating Bug 80849 : image as link not preserved after filesave while auto-save activated Regression against 4.3.0.0.beta1 and 4.2.4.2
Moved Bug 63756 to MAB4.2, as MAB4.0 was closed already. David Tardon reopened that bug and assigned to himself :-)
Nominating bug 75467, it results in meta-data (file modification date/time and file size) loss for users on older versions of MacOS X, effectively rendering LO unusable for anyone who needs to track modification dates.
Added bug 81396, charts do not show correctly in XLSX when open with libreoffice. Affects all chart types.
I suggest this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78206 When insert symbols (like U+0301, U+0300, U+0340, U+0341), which apply to the previous symbol, insertion process doesn't work properly. Seems like it uses wrong font. It slows down the work so much (as you have to use "workaround"), that often it's easier to work in notepad and then copy\paste certain text into Writer. This is not normal work. I found it in 4.2.3 but maybe the bug is also in earlier versions.
Add bug #76565: cannot paste anything into the new inline input fields, defeating much of their functionality
Re bug #76565 One obvious use for the input field is for serial or identification numbers that must be printed on several different forms or several times in one page, information that is often provided from another electronic source and which is extremely prone to human error if manually retyped instead of copied. The current implementation breaks the ability to paste this kind of information into a template that was designed around the old method. The entire interface is currently designed to make the user think that whatever they need to do to edit an input field should be done by clicking and then inserting the information and not by using a non-obvious keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-F9) or going into the variables menu in a manner that defeats the entire purpose of an "input" field. We're talking about a difference of maybe 1-3 seconds for the old implementation versus 10-20 seconds for each field that requires pasted data. When you're dealing with dozens of these fields in an office full of distractions and urgent interruptions (the kind where you must open up a new document and work on something else, meaning you lose your place in what you were doing before) this adds up to significant loss of productivity.
Nominating bug 81357: Setting default language to "None" doesn't stick, but reverts to "English USA". This is very inconvenient for me (and others I expect) that work in multiple minority languages. I set "None" as the default so I can keep "check spelling as I type" enabled, but it won't pop the "red squiggles" until I define the langauge of the document.
Bug 73650 : no more slideshow, a serious regression on windows 8.1
Added 76389: AutoFilter not hilighted after loading a file with AutoFilter set.
Added 77479: AutoFilter lost after sorting
Added Bug 71961. It's export analog mab was fixed, but the import still remains broken.
Correction. Added Bug 67347, the import analog of Bug 71961.
LO does not save the pdf files in the path of which the file was opend. If we use windows dialogs, LO saves/esports the pdf files somewhere but NOT in the original path from which the file was opened. Same situation when opening a file within a network with the ms file manager. While the saving of the file meanwhile works, the pdf export / save as does not use the same path. Windows 7 pro 32 bit, windows network. Please change it! We are donater of LO an OO since long time, and we are really very very annoyed by this bug! Thanke you for your fast change.
Hi Klaus Langguth, You broke our MAB list! This is a meta bug which tracks the most annoying bugs. Please do not change the fields of this one. To report a bug, you should file a saparate bug report. If the bug you filed should belong to this MAB list, QA members will do it. Thanks!
Nominating https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53228 (graphical elements created in earlier Calc versions don't have their position honoured in later versions). Nominating because in some use cases this causes catastrophic data loss; this is effective data loss with risk of total.
Would it be possible not to move unfixed bugs from MAB lists? People like me are trying to find a stable version of LO to install on office computers. But if MAB lists are cleared then there is no way of knowing how stable each version is. If stableness can be measured by the number of MAB bugs that is. Since the MAB4.1 has been cleared so just how stable 4.1 is? 4.2 is supposed to be stable (still?) but just look at the number of MAB Bugs. At least please don't clear this list until 4.2 reaches its EOL.
"At least please don't clear this list until 4.2 reaches its EOL." What I meant to say is that please don't clear this list until 4.3 becomes stable (or still).

Please, don't discuss this on the MAB list. MAB is a tool for QA and developers, if you want your own list, you can build it by yourself using named tag in Bugzilla, see at the very bottom this page.

I nominate bug 81592: regression affecting scientific publications.
My lap top has Windows Vista Home Premium installed (English language). Having used Libre Office for about 9 months (a 4.1 version?)for no apparent reason an error message appears "The system cannot find the file specified," when I try to access any file. I have tried upgrading with no improvement and my restore points don't go back far enough. Would be grateful for some help.

Hi Kevin I just removed Bug 79395 as the 4.2 branch will not have any bugfix release anymore. I see it is reproducible in the 4.3 branch, so please nominate it as a 4.3 MAB on Bug 75025. Cheers! :)
(In reply to chtfn from comment #224) > Hi Kevin > > I just removed Bug 79395 as the 4.2 branch will not have any bugfix release > anymore. not correct, the 4.2.x branch will have a new 4.2.7 update (the last) in a few days. then the official END-OF-LIFE is expected by 19 2014 see: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#4.2_release I see it is reproducible in the 4.3 branch, so please nominate it > as a 4.3 MAB on Bug 75025. > > Cheers! :) please do not mess things removing/adding MABs without knowing the exact procedures. that bug which is reproducible in 4.2.x has to stay in the mab4.2 list (I'm gonna put it back there) and will moved to the mab4.3 list only after the official EOL of the 4.2.x branch the mab4.2 to mab4.3 migration will be done by QA people by that time.
(In reply to tommy27 from comment #225) Hi Tommy. Thank you for checking. > not correct, the 4.2.x branch will have a new 4.2.7 update (the last) in a > few days. then the official END-OF-LIFE is expected by 19 2014 > see: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#4.2_release I assumed 4.2.7 was out already as (1) I already got a 4.2.7 update on Ubuntu a few days ago and (2) the release plan states that 4.2.7 should have been out by the 26th of October (yesterday). So I am sorry if in fact 4.2.7 is not officially out yet, I just had two good reasons to believe it was. > please do not mess things removing/adding MABs without knowing the exact > procedures. > > that bug which is reproducible in 4.2.x has to stay in the mab4.2 list (I'm > gonna put it back there) and will moved to the mab4.3 list only after the > official EOL of the 4.2.x branch > > the mab4.2 to mab4.3 migration will be done by QA people by that time. I am aware of the the "exact procedures". I have participated in MAB transfers before. In the wiki, the following is written: "If there are no further releases of a LibreOffice version (or “branch”; e.g., 3.5.x), we close the MAB tracking bug for that version, and move all remaining MAB listed for that version to the MAB tracking bug for the next version – you do not need to do that yourself." I assumed 4.2.7 was out, therefore I knew there was no further release for the 4.2 branch. I then asked Kevin to nominate that bug in 4.3 MAB as this is what should be done according to the wiki (no use of adding a MAB if no extra bugfix version is planned). This not me starting a "migration", even though I think we should get cracking on that before the 4.2 EOL as MABs hanging out here after 4.2.7 will have no visibility at all (and, once again, it is what is recommended on the wiki). Thank you.
sorry for sounding rude in the previous post. the 4.2.7 is not officially out yet but besides this I ask everybody here to hold on migrating mab4.2 to the mab4.3 list. It's better to wait a few weekes for the exact 4.2.x EOL to be sure that no critical issue pops out in the meantime and that no extra release will be necessary.

No worries. Sure, that actually makes a lot of sense. It should be worded that way on the wiki to make it clear for everybody then, I am sure most QA people agree on that. Thanks
LibO 4.2.7 has been finally released today. as said before the END OF LIFE of the 4.2.x branch is set on november 19th. please do not start any mab4.2 to mab4.3 migration until then. anyway feel free to retest the current mab4.2 which are still open [1] against the 4.3.x branch (4.3.3 released today) or against 4.4.x master, and post a new comment in the report page of that specific bug telling your findings (still reproducible, not reproducible, changed, etc. etc.) I'll personally move all residual 4.2mabs into the 4.3mab list after november 19th, so again do not start any migration until then. [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=65675&hide_resolved=1
adding Bug 77592 - FILEOPEN: LibO 4.2.x incorrectly changes row height - various issues related/ look the same, - at least one duplicate, - bibisected, - clear example to reproduce
Adding Bug 85614 and Bug 85584. A feature was back ported to the stable 4.2.7 release. This new, incompatible sort breaks many peoples spreadsheets.(See Bug 81633 and its many dupes) The necessary fixes were not back ported, so sorting with 4.2.7 or 4.3.2 can result in data loss.
I nominate bug: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42346 Cross reference handling broken when exporting to doc / docx Same bug still exists in 4.3 ( https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84637 )
I suggest to add this Bug 76239 - "OpenSymbol font is not retained after an upgrade", that surfaces gradually
Nominate bug 81806 - Document crashes when editing tables. Causes data loss for any unsaved data. Bugs 81923 and 79569 may be related.
The LibO 4.2.x branch reached today it's end of life (EOL) and will be no longer supported. This meta-bug is going to be closed, so please do not add any new bug here. If you find a bug which qualifies as a most annoying bug (MAB) according to these criterias ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Most_Annoying_Bugs) and is still reproducible in current LibO 4.3.x branch, please add it to the mab4.3 list (Bug 75025). All the unfixed existing mab4.2 will be now reviewed and if still reproducible, moved to that list as well. For the record here's the full list of the residual 4.2.x MABs at the time I'm writing: Bug 34467: FORMATTING Fit to Frame for text boxes is broken Bug 34957: ODT containing multi-page table with table setting "Keep with next paragraph" is pushed to next page Bug 36799: If you insert an envelope into a document only the envelope is printed (Mac OS X) Bug 37223: Target for paste cells from column in Calc into TABLE will be single cell instead of column Bug 37315: cropped pictures in .docx file are mangled and in wrong place Bug 40780: Impress Custom Animation Sound Effect not audible in Slide Show Bug 40907: FILEOPEN: concurrent access to AFP shared files impossible - total lock on file Bug 41169: All hotkeys are language dependent, don't work in non-Latin keyboard layout.
