 |
|
As I write a lot of concepts it looked a very nice feature that I can protect record of changes with a password so that someone else cannot turn off recording of changes.
But I found out that there is a big bad bug in it but unfortunately did not find any information about that in the forum or on the web that describes that particular problem:
The password that prevents from turning off record of changes can be easily disabled.
Steps to reproduce:
- I go to "Edit->Changes->Record" => Check it
- "Edit->Changes->Protect Records" then I can set a password.
- When a password is set then I go back to "Edit->Changes->Record"
- Password dialog appears
- I press cancel and what happens: Changes are not marked any more.
 
Oh no, such a serious malfunction - and I am sure it would be easy to fix....

I tried now on several machines with also different languages of OpenOffice hoping that probably not a general problem (who knows). But unfortunately behaviour is exactly the same. - I was about to switch to OpenOffice...

Even if there is nobody who can help me - is there someone at least experiencing the same issue?

I seem to get the same thing when I try it. I didn't even realise it existed. I'm not sure if we have a bug or the instructions in help are so short that it is difficult to figure out what it is suppose to do.

In my very humble opinion it must be a bug I cannot imagine that such behaviour is working "as designed"!

It is very strange - I cannot reproduce the problem any more after playing around with options and styles.
I tried to undo some changes in options but cannot find the option that caused this to work now. I will do a test with reinstall of OO on a clear machine. My current machine had also an older version of OpenOffice on it before.

Retried this on another machine and now and it seems to be working as we might expect. I suspect it was interference from sunspots
