Bug#504604:
In the launchpad bug report (the link above) there is a discussion about
why OOo now behaves like this. I understood from this discussion that
upstream deliberate made this change for improved Excel compatibility.
I'm an experienced Excel user, and I certainly expect Excel to behave
the way OOo now does. OOo 3 (the release version) behaves the same way
as the Lenny OOo package as far as I can tell (I'm using the Debian
packages in experimental,which work great). So your request to move
Lenny to v3 won't change the functionality.
If the above doesn't make sense or is incorrect, then please help by
clarifying the differences between your report and the launchpad
discussion.
Also, I don't see what the data loss is. This functionality change
doesn't actually change anything in your document, as I understand it.
Are you sure that it qualifies as a "grave" bug?
regards
Tim
