Comment One small bug I really wish they would fix (Score 1) 433
Open an excel file with open office, save it, and you will find that O.O. appends random quantities of blank text to random cells. I've had files at least quintuple in size due to this feature. I discovered the problem when reading Excel files with Apache Jakarta's POI library.
I've banned everyone in the office from touching any of my Excel files with O.O., under penalty of a severely foamy-mouthed and long-winded berating.
BTW I gotta give credit to those POI folks for enduring the difficult & thankless task of working with a series of formats thought up by a bunch of MS employees - individuals who clearly were not only stone drunk, but criminally insane, and mentally retarded to boot.
