The option to externally overwrite the documents "open in design mode" state is somewhat expensive (to implement), though I definately see the problem here. We already had some small discussion here in- house about this. The most interesting question is what the user expects from "edit document" and "open document", and if (s)he's aware of the differences between a document's edit mode and the alive- or design- mode of the contained form layer. We don't have a solution at hand, and if this really turns out to be a problem users have, this is surely to be discussed publicly for finding the best solution. I assign this issue to myself because I accept it as a problem which needs to be fixed in our area. accepting the issue .... Dietrich, forgot to mention: If you want to access you file: * extract the XML streams from the zip package * open the content.xml * search for an "ApplyFormDesignMode" attribute, change the value from "true" to "false" * re-insert the content.xml into the zip-package * open the document for editing The form layer should now be in design instead of alive mode, which should give you the possibility to correct the statement. Yes, it's no solution, not even a workaround for unexperienced users, but it may help you with you specific problem :) setting target milestone to OOo 2.0 "According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to OOo Later." removing dependency to issue 21786 (crash tracking). This bug here does not describe a crash, but a problem you have after some crash occured. change subcomponent to 'none' With the conceptual changes in OOo 2.0, this is fixed by passing: Nowadays, you can either "Open" or "Edit" forms. In the latter case, the document is opened for editing, with design mode switched *on*. cleaning up my issues - this one is fixed in the latest developer snapshots ... |
