Just a heads up on the attached

commit message gives a rationale for what I aim at with the patch, but
also explains why its not yet ready for prime time.
Sounds like a lovely feature - wow that functionality is annoying ! :-)
Nevertheless, I would appreciate it if people versed with the details of
the various applications could give it a try, to see whether it breaks
any obscure behaviour. (For example, there is reportedly already some
support in Writer for editing form content of r/o documents. Does this
patch affect that?)
I'll send you a sample document with the wunder-interoperable fields in
it.
The patch looks rather short, but I struggled with
it on-and-off over the course of several weeks, as every little change
triggered unexpected changes in other, seemingly unrelated areas.
:-)
I'll try to get the Calc (and other applications?) problems fixed as
soon as possible (I only noticed that problem now that I thought I was
mainly done, but had only ever tested my changes with Writer), but am
reluctant to press this into master towards LO 3.6 so short before
feature freeze. Experience won over the last weeks indicates that too
many surprises lurk in this area. So I would really like to hear other
people's thoughts.
How many unit tests did we get out of that experience ;-> if there were
some, I'd be well up for putting it into 3.6. If we find it causes
significant problems, it looks small enough to back out reasonably
easily (right?).
ATB,
Michael.
