Comment 18 for bug 709778

Hi all, I'm not treating it as a forum, but posting as much information as I can that may help provide a solution.

I have managed to install OpenOffice.org downloading from OpenOffice, and, following 1 change, to the OO Base file, OO Base 3.3 is now working as it should, on ubuntu 10.04 unfortuantely, LO Base 3.3, still has the issues mentioned above.

Also, on the subject of the netbooks, it would appear OO 3.3 has a minimum display setting of 1024x768, which is unsuitable for a netbook, typically 1024x576.

Just to test, I'm installing ubuntu 10.10, although this defeats the object of having an LTS ubuntu release, and will try again with that.

If OO Base, and when fixed LO Base only work on resolutions 1024x768 and above, is definately a bad move, if it makes unusable on netbooks and other umpc's, you are effectively forcing users to, either use Windows & MS Office, or not use it at all. Poor show all round if that is the case.

This has been the worse upgrade to OpenOffice, since before even version 1.0, I really hope that this is not a sign of things to come, and simply teething troubles to do with the split/fork.

However, knowing that base can, and does work in OO 3.3, should at least provide a good starting point for a fix in LO Base 3.3
