Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Dec 13

A similar miracle happened to me last night, too. Another
user opened OpenOffice Word and the top and bottom panels
are there. Well it's not really a miracle as it's the
first time I actually checked to see if the problem
occurred with other users as it does with me, the
administrator.

Something in my own user settings is causing this problem,
not in the other users.

Sorry for calling you Ann in the other thread, in case
you noticed. I now feel, however, like Alice with
everything just getting confusinger and confusinger.

Could you explain what you mean by "when preferences
was open"? Of course that's the browser, not OpenOffice,
but I'm still looking for clues.

I could try uninstalling OpenOffice and reinstalling
it, but would rather see if this is a bug that should
be reported (and if so learn how to do that) rather
than eliminate it in an artificial way. Of course, if
the answer doesn't emerge then I'll try that.

Experts out there? At least one other person on the
list, using a satellite tracking program, is having
a similar problem and it looks like something in
Ubuntu or Gnome rather than in an application.
Mozilla, OpenOffice, something from satscape.com...

Linux is indeed Wonderland; just, how to nail the
Mad Hatter. Hey, Snape used the command "Reveal your
secrets" on Harry's map...maybe... Naw, all he got
was a rude insult. Which reminds me: many thanks for
all help we're getting on this list.
