Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16228
Unable to save changes to files owned by other user same group in public folder
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:11:33 UTC
System config: 2001 iBook (128 RAM), MacOS X 10.2.6, Apple X11 (beta 3), OOo1.0.3gm OOo1.0.3gm locks up (force quit OOo by quitting X11 breaks lock) when a user attempts to save changes made to another users' files saved in public folder. However <docname>.tmp stays in folder. File Permissions = -rwxrwxrwx Folder Permissions = drwxrwxrwx Users in same group. Have not confirmed, but suspect also occurs with simpress, sdraw, scalc, etc.
Re-assigning to me since this is probably a Mac OS X only issue. dan
HI->TM: occurs also with simpress, sdraw, scalc, etc. is not a wordprocessor issue.
I suspect it is an installer issue. I have seen no multi-user install option, like Lin or Win installs. I do not have this problem in multi-user installs on those platforms. Have not tried single-user installs on them, though, so cannot compare directly.
FYI, by default OOo v1.0.3GM on Mac OS X is a multi-user install. The overall permissions are those of the account used to install OOo, but for each user using OOo, individual preferences and their permissions are created (on first time use) for those accounts. I haven't tried to reproduce yet.
Any new cognitions?
There was some recent discussion on a similar issue on the OOo for Mac OS X support forums. More investigation is required.
This is an old 1.0.3 issue. If problem still exists we need a new issue. James
