[libreoffice-users] Frustrated Base Users / Errors in Base 3.3 (OO 3.2 work beautifully)

Hi All

Firstly, I'd like to say that I don't completely agree with Andreas 
Säger's, post

http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/msg02064.html

Firstly, I have been using OpenOffice from pre version 1 days, and I 
have to say, when Base reached the 3.2 release it was very good, in fact 
3.1 & 3.2 versions of Base are very good, and if you want to see what 
can be achieved with Base, have a look here

http://ostdb.no-ip.org/

It's a project I have been working on for a while, using MySQL as a 
back-end. Feel free to download and take the database for a spin, but 
don't do it in LO 3.3, because Base is severely broken in 3.3, I really 
wish it wasn't, but alas it is.

To read through what I've worked through to test the various 
combinations of LO and operating system / hardware combinations, read my 
feedback to ubuntu bug 709778

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/709778

What makes the issues with Base 3.3 worse is that there is no 
consistency in the bugs, as you will see by reading my posts to the 
above bug report. NONE of these issues occurred in OO 3.2. This 
unfortunately reflects really badly on the Open Source community 
altogether, surely cannot the coding for Base be regressed to how it was 
in 3.2, until the changes that were attempted in 3.3 can be more 
thoroughly tested.

Please, I may not have the skills to be able to contribute to the source 
of these projects, but I do my utmost to promote what was OO, and was 
going to do so with LO, but I'm afraid introducing users to OO/LO3.3 may 
have a negative impact. To top this all off, I was so looking forward to 
LibreOffice, but until these hither too not present errors in Base, 
particulary, are resolved, then I cannot recommend moving to LO.

I really hope somebody is able to fix this, and soon.

Thanks

Tony
