Description Stephan Bergmann 2012-09-03 14:33:13 UTC 
At least with recent LO master on Windows, with a fresh UserInstallation, "Tools - Options... - LibreOffice - Java - Java options - Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed" lists potentially multiple entries, but none is selected.

"Cancel", then "File - Wizards - Letter...", "Cancel", then "Tools - Options... - LibreOffice - Java": now (i.e., as soon as Java is actually used for the first time in LO) one entry is selected.

That is rather confusing.  It would be better to select the best Java when the options tab page is opened and no selection is made yet.  Relevant implementation is probably jfw_findAndSelectJRE.

(This cannot be observed on Linux, as soffice script calls javaldx -- which calls jfw_findAndSelectJRE if none has been selected yet -- before calling soffice.bin.)

Confirmed.

Windows 8
Version 4.1.0.1

Minor - wouldn't prevent work getting done but can slow it down
High - probably easy to fix, also if a user didn't know where to poke around could be quite annoying
