1- sorry this is impossible to have in java 2-sorry, I understand this is important for you, but it is impossible 'cause there is a java limitation 3- please don't ask me more for it 'cause I said it is impossible and I have no time to lose 4-btw I was reading neooffice code in bathroom to take a rest when I see a way to have a similar things like the one you asked to me 5- I know it is not *exactly* the same you asked to me, but it is quite similar 6-no, sorry, I can not change a little the code to give to you exactly the thing you asked to me 'cause it is still impossible 7- no sorry I can not give to you my telephone number 8- btw I was making some mantra exercize to keep me unsleep during the night so I can debug neoofice while other people usually sleep and agent cooper appears me in a dream and whisper me the way to have exactly the things you asked me lately 9- so I can close this bug as Fixed.
OK, this is not helping. Other than that Fabrizio just threw off some frustration, which I can sympathize with...
Enfin, the recipe is as follows: post a sample document, have some faith and Patrick usually gets around the bug in some time. It is volunteer and open source work, so don't expect midnight miracles. If something isn't right, don't start pushing until two weeks after filing the bug. These things don't solve themselves.

And one other thing: If we say it is an OpenOffice bug, it is. I run, concurrently, Neo/J 1.1.5 Alpha (I build it on Tiger since Patrick does not and wants to know if things break in Tiger) and 1.1.5 (with patches that will bring it to the same functionality as the proposed 1.1.6). If you report a bug that appears to be an OpenOffice bug, I test it and if it is one, I ask that you report it. Why? Because I can then go in and verify that the bug exists. If I report it, it may NEVER be verified. There is a LIMITED team working on 1.1.4/1.1.5/1.1.6 right now as efforts are concentrated on getting OOo 2.0 completed.
ROFL. You left out all of the cussing at my machine, Java, Mac OS X, etc. that I do between step 5 and 6.
What is really funny is that the steps that you listed are pretty close to the truth. I almost always find my best fixes when I have nearly given up in frustration.

4a. Ok. Flush. I think I found the bug, but I cannot fix it because it breaks something else.
4.b. Takes appropriate beverage break (at least one six-pack of Samual Adams or one bottle of wine.) (In drunken tone) I think I found it, but I cannot fix it because I cannot find the keyboard and for some reason I now see two screens....

1a- This is not a bug, you have haxies installed, you have no sanity...
2- sorry, I understand this is important for you, but it is impossible 'cause there is a java limitation - please don't ask me more for it 'cause I said it is impossible and I have no time to lose
4- btw I was reading neooffice code in bathroom to take a rest when I see a way to have a similar things like the one you asked to me

5- I know it is not *exactly* the same you asked to me, but it is quite similar
5.1 - "... Cussing at my machine, Java, Mac OS X, etc. that I/"pluby" do between step 5 and 6"
6- no, sorry, I can not change a little the code to give to you exactly the thing you asked to me 'cause it is still impossible
6a- No, I can NOT change the structure/menus/design/whatever of underlying OOo code to give you exactly what you want.
That is beyond the scope of this project / resources / ....
or
6.2- "'Please trash your preferences folder" <edit>
or
6.2b- "And one other thing: If we say it is an OpenOffice bug, it is."
We don't have the resources to fix OOo code bugs!
7- no sorry I can not give to you my telephone number
8- btw I was making some mantra exercize to keep me unsleep during the night so I can debug NeoOffice while other people usually sleep and agent cooper appears me in a dream and whisper me the way to have exactly the things you asked me lately
9- so I can close this bug as Fixed.
