Possible UI bug - key combo assignment and macros

yoxi

I'm using 2.2.2 with patch #11-test-3. In going to assign a macro to a key combo, when I went down the Category list to assign the macro, the usual heading is missing (I can't remember what it used to say, I think just 'NeoOffice'). I can still choose the macros, there's just no top level label:

How do you bring up that dialog? Also, are you using Leopard? If so, can you add yourself to the CC: list in bug 2919 as I think that there is some ATSUI bugs in Leopard that are causing text layout to fail in certain cases.

Yes, Leopard/intel. The dialogue is on the Keyboard tab of Tools::Customise, the leftmost of the Category/Function/Keys panes at the bottom. I'll cc myself to that bug, ta.

I don't see this on Leopard. Is it possible that this is an OOo bug? I remember that customizations to the menus in OOo can cause some bizarre rendering in that dialog.

Dunno - are you asking me, or thinking out loud there? Smile

I haven't changed my menus, only assigned key combos (oh, and I'm not using ShapeShifter and more...)

The whole macro thing has got more fiddly since OOo2.x - there are so many places a macro might end up getting stored. But I go to this category in the dialogue quite often, and this missing label is a very recent phenomenon, so I'm guessing it's related to recent code changes.

I still see "NeoOffice Macros" on 10.3.9 with some iteration of Patch-11 Test (looks like I'm still on Test-2 here).

Edit: Still here after upgrading to Test-3. I'll try to remember to check the 10.5 machine later....

No, fresh prefs doesn't bring back the missing label.

The label "NeoOffice macros" is there for me in G4 and Intel machines, 10.5.2, Patch 11 Test 3.

yoxi,

FYI. I have posted a test patch in bug 2919. Does anything change for you?

No, I still have no label with test-4. I'm wondering, though - when I go to the NeoOffice Basic Macros dialogue, in my list there are two entries apart from the current doc - My Macros and NeoOffice Macros. Does everyone have this? For most of the time I've been using NeoOffice, there was just one entry there, and then suddenly there were these 2 entries. I've no idea if this is the normal state of affairs or not. They both appear in the Category list as 'user' and 'share' respectively, and maybe the presence of My Macros is what is preventing NO from displaying the NeoOffice Macros label?

Can you create a new bug and attach a zip file of your ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-2.2 folder?

Yoxi,

I have always had a MyMacros section, and that's where I've stored my macros. I did notice today that the Image Capture and Grammar checker Macro libraries are now in MyMacros; presumably they are part of the new features.
