Description bradley_lee80 2008-05-08 11:19:17 UTC

This is an issue with Open Office version 3 beta download name

"OOo_3.0.0beta_20080429_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz"

The 'Word Count' is counting Paragraphs, not words

Also not counting characters correctly

I wrote this to just test some features

"This is the first
paragraph
This is the first paragraph
This is the first paragraph"

and when there was a return between 'first' and 'paragraph' the word count went
up by 16, I tried the same with the others this didn't happen, I saved the file
and opened it with some older version of OOord, 2.1 & 2.4 they did the same
thing, I have the file, but there dosn't seem to be any way to upload it. I have
put it on my website, down load from above link

Reassigned to SBA.

Confirmed: I was about to report this too ;).  For me to reproduce is easy
enough to type two words, and OOo BEA300_m2 Linux tells me it is 1 word.

I see the same problem using the OOo 3.0 Beta while running on Fedora 9, 64-bit.
Also prepare to report the problem. I see that the document statistics are also
completely wrong.
