Description demaio 2011-09-16 13:57:37 UTC
Problem:

When working with several users on the same spreadsheet one after another (no sharing) and each user saves a version, then when comparing an old version to the openend version, there is only one user listed as author: the user that has the document open in this moment.

Steps to reproduce:

- Create a spreadsheet as UserA (Homer), do some work, save it, then save it as a version (v1Homer), then close it
- Open this spreadsheet as UserB (Bart), do some work, save it as another version (v2Bart)
- Open this spreadsheet again as Homer, go to File -> Versions, select version v1Homer, then press "Compare"

Result here: Every change is listed with author "Homer" but it should show "Bart" because Bart made the changes between the first version (v1Homer) and the now opened document (at version v2Bart).

If I do the same in the Writer application, everything is correct (User Bart is show as author of the changes), so I guess this is a bug related especially to Calc.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

test file with described problem

User Homer made some changes but when comparing, Mario is listed as the change author. Use File -> Versions -> Compare

The change in line 2 (homer) is done by user Homer, not Mario

Change version to 3.3.4 as most early reproducible

Thanks for attachment

Please read this message in its entirety before responding.

Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed.

If you have time please do the following:
1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer).
2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system.
3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System

Please DO NOT
1) Update the version field
2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)
