In LibreOffice version and build-ID may be copied

Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 (Final) AOOO340m1 (Build 9590) - Rev. 1327774 Russian UI/Locale

Need the ability to copy version, build, and revision of the program information from the About Box like it's made in LibreOffice.

While descripting problems in Office applications it is desirable to specify the exact version, build, and revision of the program since this information helps to diagnose the problem much faster (also good idea to increase default font size used to display described above info in Apache OpenOffice - now it's very small). Very uncomfortable to gain this information each time manually.

Also About Box does not show bitness (32-bit or 64-bit).

Also remove the "full stop (dot)" at the end of URL with credits (http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/credits.html.), because after copy-paste functions you need to delete this "full stop (dot)" manually, or make URL clickable.

This information can now be selected and copied

> Also About Box does not show bitness (32-bit or 64-bit).

Right now, Linux is the only system where we support both 32 and 64 bits, so I left this as an optional feature to be set at configure time by the developer building AOO using --with-build-version, for example:

--with-build-version="$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S (%a, %d %b %Y)") - `uname -sm`"

This will produce something like

2012-06-22 08:23:54 (Fri, 22 Jun 2012) - Linux x86_64

I removed this and added a link

Updated status to FIXED and target to release that will contain the enhancement.
Comment 9 Ariel Constenla-Haile 2013-07-11 09:33:34 UTC
The current version, after the logo changes, looks IMO horrible (besides the horribleness of the flat logo).
