Possibly Ubuntu’s fault too for shipping the not-latest un-bugfixed release. But either way, it’s really annoying seeing the “Document Recovery” screen more than the edit text widget.
Copy and Paste slides in Impress is not flakey – it’s damn right crushed to pieces. Occationally it does something useful – like paste and not crash.
update: yes, i am just using it to put together presentations for our upcoming devconf – as well as the user conference. Why these things are so hard to do is beyond me. A simple app that didn’t crash *cough* magicpoint *cough* is looking rather superior at the moment.
update part 2: yes, the title changed. arguably i like this one better. although adding “right under the fingernail” is tempting
Have you tried whining and bitching to the developers? :P
that would be, like, sensible. The inciting hatred category here is not meant for sense :)
think of it as satire on all those people who just whinge about some bug and never report it – or do it on whacky configs with whacky compiler flags and all that.
Unfortunately, half the times when i run into bugs these days, they’re on documents with sensitive information in them… so i can’t really just attach them to a bug report and go “do a, b, c and d” and see it crash.
I’m really hoping that OO 2.0.1 fixes all these bugs. It’s really annoying that Ubuntu 5.10 doesn’t have the packages though.
Oh, Pascal – cool graphics I’ve seen you doing too.
Yea, ranting to the devels is obviously not the best thing to do, but sometimes showing up in the IRC channel and in a friendly sort of way going you know blah is just damn awesome, but it kinda sucks sometimes when I do this.
Buy ‘em a beer and the bug will be fixed sooner. ;)
Cheers.
