Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Closing LibreOffice results in a crash

Hi :)

Thanks for letting me know.  I never found out whether the South African problem 
got fixed in Ubuntu so it is good to hear that is was treated differently in 
other distros.  Hmm, i guess it could be awkward for CSV files although they 
generally need some cleaning up anyway in any language.

I didn't comment on the install/closing/crash problem because i still use an old 
OpenOffice (still got the Sun logo) and haven't really installed LibreOffice 
anywhere useful yet.

Sorry i can't help at all.  hopefully soemone else might help later
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

other programs respect my locale setting. For example the OOo that
comes with Mandriva is in German and uses the German locale setting,
the same is true for the "vanilla" version of OOo. It is just LibO,
where I am not able to change to the German UI and the German locale.

I've never heard that the , is used as a special character. What I do
know, is, depending on your locale, the settings for exporting or
importing a csv file might differ. (I guess, that's the reason, why
OOo/LibO gives you a dialog where you can specify what the delimiter
for the values in those files is).

But besides this, I don't know of any other formatting case.
