 Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 8:28 am Post subject: Must save before inserting or deleting row in Calc |
|
Using .xls format, running Lion, unless I have a saved document, I can't add or delete a row in Calc. I'm using 3.2.1 Patch 6
I'm not sure when this started happening, but it's been at least a week or so. I thought the file was corrupted so I copied everything to a new file. Same issue.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I cannot reproduce what you describe with any of my .xls files so can you install the latest patch (NeoOffice 3.2.1 Patch 7 is the current patch) from the patch download page.
If the same behavior still occurs with the latest patch, can you provide either a set of steps or attach a sample document that we can use to reproduce what you are seeing on our machines?
Instructions for attaching a sample document are in this forum post.

I have one other request for you: can you tell us what error message, if any, is displayed when inserting or removing a row fails?

Hi Patrick,
I installed Patch 7. Now it doesn't happen.
When it did happen, there was no error message. I just selected an action from the menu, and then nothing happened.
If there's any further misbehavior, I'll send a copy of the file.
Thanks,

That is good to hear that the latest patch fixed the issue for you. But if the problem appears again, we will definitely investigate your sample file.

Patrick,
The problem turned out to be a utility I'm using, "MenuEverywhere".
Sorry for wasting your time.

Although we don't support haxies as they tend to cause breakage in large, complex applications like NeoOffice or Microsoft Office, if you want to keep using that particular haxie you may want to try NeoOffice 3.3 Beta and its latest patch before you remove the haxie.
In NeoOffice 3.3 Beta, we have replaced all our Java code that we have used through NeoOffice 3.2.1 to manage windows, menus, and printing. Apple considers Java to be an obsolete technology so we replace all that Java code with native Cocoa code.
Maybe that haxie will be incompatible with NeoOffice 3.3 Beta but we have found that Java-based applications like NeoOffice 3.2.1 tend to be much more sensitive to haxies than Cocoa applications so it may be worth a try.
Hope that helps,
Patrick |
