Bug Fixes

BZ#820554

The "--enable-new-dtags" flag was added to allow certain types of built time regression tests to function. As a consequence, the GCJ Java complier failed to search the correct location of Java libraries. This update applies a patch to remove the flag and GCJ works as expected.

BZ#829709

Previously, the LibreOffice suite was not fully translated into certain local languages. This update provides the full translation of LibreOffice to local languages.

BZ#833512

During upgrading the OpenOffice.org suite to the OpenOffice suite, backward compatibility links were removed and the OpenOffice.org icons were not migrated to LibreOffice. Consequently, an attempt to launch LibreOffice failed with an error. With this update, the compatibility links have been restored and the icons now work as expected.

BZ#847519

Due to a bug in the chart creation code, an attempt to create a chart, under certain circumstances, failed with a segmentation fault. The underlying source code has been modified to fix this bug and the chart creation now works as expected.

BZ#855972

Due to a bug in the underlying source code, an attempt to show the outline view in the Impress utility terminated unexpectedly. This update applies a patch to fix this bug and the outline view no longer crashes in the described scenario.

BZ#863052

Certain versions of the Microsoft Office suite contain mismatching internal time stamp fields. Previously, the LibreOffice suite detected those fields and returned exceptions. Consequently, the user was not able to open certain Microsoft Office documents. With this update, LibreOffice has been modified to ignore the mismatching time stamp fields and Microsoft Office documents can be opened as expected.

BZ#865058

When a large amount of user-defined number formats was specified in a file, those formats used all available slots in a table and for remaining formats the general format was used. As a consequence, certain cell formatting did not preserve during loading the file. With this update, a patch has been provided and cell formatting works as expected.

BZ#871462

The Libreoffice suite contains a number of harmless files used for testing purposes. Previously, on Microsoft Windows system, these files could trigger false positive alerts on various anti-virus software, such as Microsoft Security Essentials. For example, the alerts could be triggered when scanning the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 ISO file. The underlying source code has been modified to fix this bug and the files no longer trigger false positive alerts in the described scenario.

BZ#876742

Due to an insufficient implementation of tables, the Impress utility made an internal copy of a table during every operation. Consequently, when a presentation included large tables, the operations proceeded significantly slower. This update provides a patch to optimize the table content traversal. As a result, the operations proceed faster in the described scenario.

BZ#902694

Previously, the keyboard-shortcut mapping was preformed automatically. As a consequence, non-existing keys were suggested as shortcuts in certain languages. With this update, a patch has been provided to fix this bug and affected shortcuts are now mapped manually.
