[opensuse] Again, I can not deactivate the table toolbar in OpenOffice writer
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I had this problem not long ago: I can permanently disable the toolbar for table. I remove it by any of the two methods, I move away from the table, return to it, and I have back the damm toolbar. Does somebody know how to permanently disable the table toolbar? Including removing the code itself if it resides on a separate file. The method that appeared to solve this the previous time was removing the entire openoffice directory on home. I don't want to do that again, it is a nuisance reconfiguring everything again. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I remember when this happened last time.... What version of OOo? Is it the Novell build or the official build? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The novell build.
I've asked around at the office here (to a few OOo gurus/developers), and no one can think of any reason why this happens to you. The standard answer is rename your config and start OOo.... like you did last time to fix this. The correct expected behavior is that, by default, the toolbar pops up when you move the cursor into an element that has a specific toolbar (like a table). If you just click the X to close the toolbar, it will pop up again on the next table. If, instead, you go to View > Toolbars > Toolbar name and remove the check next to that toolbar, the toolbar will be closed, and will not open again unless you explicitly tell OOo to do so. This is how it works in the "official" OOo release. I can't imagine that any tweaks in the Novell build would trigger the problem you describe, or everyone would be asking about it... but I suppose it's possible. Have you tried it with the current Novell OOo build or the current "official" OOo build? (OOo 2.3.1 is not the latest release) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It is getting even more weird. On another document that I have opened at the same time, the toolbox behaves properly. What did I do? View, reset defaults, enable toolbox, disable it again... some magic passes, and it disappeared. Repeated on my first document: no go. Go figure.

Yep, I know. I wish they had an explicit toggle for all pop-ups. I prefer the context menu, less intrusive, specially when screen space is scarce.

Yea, I know it is not the latest. There was something I was afraid that would break on newer builds a month ago, but I have forgotten what it was. I could update, but if it doesn't work I can't go back to a previous version. I should upgrade, anyway. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I see the above "expected" behavior with the Novell package. Well, it is possible that that it does not work with a particular build or that there is a bug triggerred by another parts of the user configuration. The setting seems to be stored in ~/.ooo-2.0/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/WriterWindowState.xcu I have there the following snippet when I disable the Table toolbar: --- cut --- <node oor:name="private:resource/toolbar/tableobjectbar"> <prop oor:name="DockPos" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>-1,-1</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="DockingArea" oor:type="xs:int"> <value>0</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Pos" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>17,191</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Size" oor:type="xs:string"> <value>395,73</value> </prop> <prop oor:name="Visible" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>false</value> </prop> </node> --- cut --- Especially important is the "false" in the "Visible" property. See also the attached file for more details. You might try to edit this config file by hand. You might try to remove just this config file to do not lost the whole configuration. You might also try to update to the last OOo-2.4 build in the Build Service. -- Best Regards, Petr Mladek software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: pmladek@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 952 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/

However, the last drop in the water is that I see the proper behavior on a certain writer file, and not in another file, both created in the current session. It can not be a global or per user configuration.
I have there the following snippet when I disable the Table toolbar:
<node oor:name="private:resource/toolbar/tableobjectbar"> ... <prop oor:name="Visible" oor:type="xs:boolean"> <value>false</value> So that one is & was correct. I have just exited OOo, I will reopen to see. [...] Ok, now both files have their table toolboxes hidden. Good riddance! But go figure. There is something weird going on here... ...

Yes, it is on my to-do list. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes, it seems that the setting is not propagated to the other already existing OOo windows. It brings some surprizing effects. I agree that it is not much user friendly. I am not sure if it is easy to fix. It might be a deep design problem. Anyway, feel free to report it into bugzilla.novell.com. -- Best Regards, Petr Mladek software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: pmladek@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 952 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Will do, next time it happens, because right now it is working. If I open one I'll have to go from memory. But I didn't change the configuration file, mind. I simply had two opened files, one created a day or two later (same OOo session); the first file I couldn't make the toolbar dissapear permanently, and in the second file it dissapeared after some "insisting". - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
