I understand that it is very convenient to categorize bugs, but the definitions are just too complex to understand. Is it a regression or not? I honestly wouldn't know. But I honestly can't figure out what the right category is. I apparently have to categorize my "bug", reading the guide about regressions and such. There's a lot to read and it's not the easiest content to read, either. There seems to be a huge guide which I should read before even sending a bug. The Report Bug site is - for the lack of a better word - imposing, uninviting. P.S.: I assume it's the same issue with other OpenOffice programs, but I only have Writer installed, so I can't test that.Īnd I could've sworn that I placed this in the Windows forum, but somehow it ended up here? Must be an oversight on my part. If you use double-click to open an ODT, "swriter.exe" isn't running at all and instead "soffice.bin" becomes the active instance.ĭoes anyone know how I might be able to achieve my goal? I've noticed that if I first open Writer and then open an ODT with it, it will work just fine, because then the process "swriter.exe" is running and is the active instance. I'd say it's possible to make things normal by making the process "swriter.exe" to open the ODT again or something. And Windows 7 won't pin anything but EXE on the taskbar. Apparently, now a process called "soffice.bin" opens the ODTs. Why is this? Well, I took a look at the Task Manager to see what the new Writer program is called. If I try to right-click on the new Writer instance to pin it to the taskbar, it won't give me an option to do so. No biggie, just unpin the old Writer and pin the new Writer. So, I figured that with a new install that Windows 7 won't recognize the old Writer icon the same as the new Writer instance.
