Description Ronan Kirby 2005-10-11 10:10:15 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050921 Red Hat/1.0.7-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
During the upgrade from RHEL4 U1 to RHEL4 U2, Open Office was updated to version 1.1.2-28.6.0.

Since this update the spell check does not work. When you run the check on a document (F7), it offers you the correct spellings for words as expeted, but when you select the "replace" option, it just skips on to the next spelling mistake without correcting the document.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-1.1.2-28.6.0.EL4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new document
2. Write some words including some spelling mistakes
3. Hit F7 to spell check the document
4. When correct spelling is suggested, click 'replace'
  

Actual Results:  It does not replace the incorrect spelling with the correct as suggested in the spell check window, and skips on to next mistake in document (if any).

Expected Results:  It should replace the incorrect spelling before moving on to the next mistake.

I can reproduce as well.  Is there a temp workaround, or do we have to go back
to version like 1.1.2-24.6?

Comment 8 Richard Monk 2005-10-25 14:56:57 UTC
This is pretty bad, all RHEL4 U2 installations are broken in this way.  Can we
have someone look at this quickly?

Comment 9 Caolan McNamara 2005-10-25 15:01:27 UTC
The bug is fixed and the package is built. What remains is to grind through the
errata process.

Comment 10 daryl herzmann 2005-10-25 15:12:35 UTC
Note that this bug applies on RHEL3 U6 as well.  I looked for a bug against
RHEL3 and didn't see one...

$ rpm -q openoffice.org
openoffice.org-1.1.2-28.2.0.EL3


Comment 11 Caolan McNamara 2005-10-25 15:24:53 UTC
RHEL3 -> 171134

Comment 12 Caolan McNamara 2005-11-09 14:17:03 UTC
openoffice.org-1.1.2-30.6.0.EL4

Comment 14 Caolan McNamara 2006-01-17 10:10:17 UTC
openoffice.org-1.1.2-31.6.0.EL4

Comment 16 daryl herzmann 2006-03-07 00:43:51 UTC
How many more months should we wait for a fix?  How can RedHat Linux be ready
for the desktop prime time when the most basic function (spell check in word
processor) has been broken for 5 months?
