Of course this one is "only for the records", we can't fix that. I was wrong this IS our bug, [Reproducible] with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ - ENGLISH UI / German Locale [Build ID: 6cad15d]" {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-09-03 23:08:07} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) when I install without Base. As long as we offer to install without particular components (and without warning "Experimental" this is a serious bug) because of an other bug (I just can't remember the number), LibO crashes when this menu item is selected without installed Base. I think the same mechanism disabling the Database Buton in the LibO Start Center should also disable this menu item. No idea whether there have been versions where that worked correctly. @Ivan: Can you help? The other Bug is "Bug 48775 - CRASH when opening biblio.odb via tools menu without Base module installed" This can be easily done (I mean hiding menu 'Tools -> Bibliography Database', don't know about help). But maybe it would be helpful not to do this for now, to simplify verification of a fix for Bug 48775 ?.. (In reply to comment #4) > This can be easily done (I mean hiding menu 'Tools -> Bibliography Database', I'd rather it is inactivated (greyed out) rather than hidden. This is something that should be done ASAP. What about showing a message box that Base needs to be installed? Otherwise users will not know why this feature doesn't work Seems this has been fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 33266 *** <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details#Version> I wonder how the fix for Bug 33266 with target:3.5.2 can work for this bug, what I observed with 3.5.2. As long as I do not see this fixed in a current build I doubt that this one is a DUP of Bug 33266 That one was concerning a crash, this one for a menu item what can't work @Samuel M.: Can you explain? Well, the bug is the same as I understand it. Writer crashes when selecting the "Bibliography Database" and Base is not installed. But now I'm also confused. I just tried with a Master build on Windows and it still crashes. I wonder what the bugfix did. The other Bug 48775 is about the same problem. All I wanted to do, is have the discussion in one bug. So maybe all are duplicates of Bug 33266 and we need to reopen that one? Still [Reproducible] with parallel installation of "LOdev 4.0.0.0.beta2 - GERMAN UI / German Locale [Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0)]" {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-12-20} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with subsequnetly removed Database modul and with separate /4 User Profile for Master Branch. As written in original report, in Start Center Database is greyed out, but the menu Item Menu 'Tools -> Bibliography Database' Still is visible (and Crashes, BTW, I will check that today, later). Other Places with useless active Database menu items: * 'Tools -> Options - LibO Base' @Samuel M. Simply that there is no word "crash" in the summary should tell you that this bug is not about a crash, and so it is a foregone that that it is doubtful that this one is a DUP of bug 33266. Please be very precise with your observations and comments. ASSIGNED due to facts Set to NEW, because I don't contribute to LibreOffice anymore. Adding self to CC if not already on |
