The comment in step 2 to reproduce isn't quite right. The color for changes is blank when you restart. [None] is actually a distinct setting. I also tried this with a new user in gnome, instead of my usual kde, and had the same problem, so it's not an artifact of kde. fix checked in, will be in >=3.1.1-19.27.fc12 openoffice.org-3.1.1-19.28.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openoffice.org-3.1.1-19.28.fc12 openoffice.org-3.1.1-19.28.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository.

Created attachment 394990 [details] file that gives working settings with the rpms from Openoffice.org, but not with Fedora rpms Description of problem: On Fedora 12, x86_64, OpenOffice Writer does not retain the settings in Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer -> Changes. In particular, setting the changes to be colored by author only holds until I exit OpenOffice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.1-19.26.fc12.x86_64 and ealier How reproducible: 100%. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a document, go to Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer -> Changes and set the changes to be colored by author, click ok, exit OpenOffice. 2.Open the same or another document, and the color for changes is [None] again. 3. Actual results: color by author setting doesn't persist Expected results: setting should persist (in fact, it should be the default) Additional info: I tried removing my .openoffice.org directory and starting fresh, but that didn't work. I tried with a new user, but that didn't work. color-by-author does seem to be the default (and persist if you change to something else and change back) on my one 32-bit Fedora 12 machine, but not on any of my 64-bit boxes. Following a suggestion on the mailing list, I removed the Fedora rpms and installed the ones from the OpenOffice.org website. After doing the "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" trick to get OpenOffice to stop segfaulting in kde, setting to color-by-author works fine. I even tried removing the rpms from OpenOffice and reinstalling the Fedora ones, but using the same .openoffice.org directory, but the Fedora rpms seem to ignore the settings in .openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu when the color is set to -1 (for color by author). I have attached the working Writer.xcu produced by the rpms from the OpenOffice.org website. This problem is not new with Fedora 12.
