Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78981
Import of Base text - Import-Window doesn't react initially
Last modified: 2014-01-12 20:07:48 UTC
Error occurs if a Text via Drag & Drop is attempted from Calc over a Base Database. In detail: Open Database Sources View (F4). Navigate to an existing Table (created with Base, filled with data). Drag and Drop a Field into a cell in Calc. The window "Text import" (I guess, I have the german version where it is called "Textimport") appears. The window does not react to any Mouse input. The workaround I found is to right-click the Taskbar Entry of OpenOffice, after which the Import-Window works just fine. This doesn't seem to be a big problem, but if dozens of lines of text need to be imported, this gets really annoying. :-) Thanks for addressing this.
Described problem still exists also in developer version OOo2.3 (OOo_2.3.0_070715_Win32Intel_install_cs.exe)...
reassigning features and enhancements to user requirements@openoffice.org which will be the default owner for those tasks (was introduced some time ago)
