Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7837
Insert table function-"rows"accepts non-digit input
Last modified: 2014-05-09 05:43:39 UTC
I have open office installed on my windows98 system.I clicked on insert table and got the menu which permits me to enter the number of columns and rows.I held the number or columns constant at 5 (the default value) and attempted to enter various non-digit values/values outside the appropriate range into the rows cell.The following are my inputs and the corresponding system outputs. INPUT FOR ROWS SYSTEM OUTPUT 0 5x1 table -1 5x1 table 3277 5x3276 table no input 5x2 table space 5x2 table 1.1 5x1 table / 5x2 table : 5x2 table /1 5x1 table :1 5x1 table 1/ 5x1 table 1: 5x1 table 1/1 5x11 table 1:1 5x11 table <F3> 5x2 table I was surprised that the system accpted these inputs and produced no error messages.When I tried the same set of inputs in Microsoft word,I was unable to enter the inputs and the I received error messages from the Microsoft system. I believe that "rows" in the insert table function of the open office word processor should reject non-digit inputs and inputs that are outside the appropriate range and issue error messages in such cases.
jw: set Platform to all set OS to all set Version to OOo 1.1 RC2 set Priority to P5 reassign owner to OS change status to confirmed -> new
The fields used for metric values and numbers correct illegal values to values that are in the correct range. I can't find anything wrong in doing so. Especially it doesn't make any sense to me to produce error messages. What is strange are some of the conversions you listed: 1/1 5x11 table 1:1 5x11 table os->ssa: Why are those inputs converted to 11?
ssa->mt: please have a look.
