Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51464
The button "Next" is mentioned on first recovery dialog but isn't available
Last modified: 2005-11-21 15:05:17 UTC
The first dialog of the autorecovery mentions the button "Next" but on the first dialog the button is called "Start Recovery". On the second dialog it's correct.
AS->FL: Please specify the new behaviour, so it can be implemented. Hint: We should name the button "Next" everytimes and do not bind it's name to the state of the dialog. But then we need a slightly adapted text above, which describes, that this "Next" button must be pressed twice to reach the error report. If you changed the specification please send this bug back to me. THX.
We already had changed the spec. to cover this issue, but it did not get implemented for OOo 2.0. Please update the dialog text according to spec.: http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/errorreporter/error_report_2_0_ui_specification.sxw in section 6.2.1 "Document Recovery Dialog" to "Press 'Start Recovery' to start the recovery process of the documents listed below.\n\nThe 'Status' column shows whether the document could be recovered." Further changes will apply to OOo 3.0.
The new spec doesn't solve the problem. The example dialog shown in 6.2.1 of the spec clearly requests that you press BOTH "Start Recovery" AND press "Next" when there is no "Next" button. At present (with 1.9.109) this text also appears in the second dialog (after the document has been recovered) which is even more confusing because then you do have a "next" button but the first line on the screen is still asking you to press the 'Start Recovery' button which you now don't have. "Please help us solve the problem that caused the crash. You can do this by sending the error report created by OpenOffice.org. Click 'Next' to open the Error Report Tool" This string should only appear in the second dialog after the documents have been recovered, when there is a "next" button and that button actually takes you to the error report. I'll attach some screenshots to illustrate.

reassigning
cd: Started.
cd: The new spec clearly states that the description text for the first recovery page should be changed. It's irritating that the dialog in the spec has not been adapted to the new text.
cd: Waiting for FL to provide new strings for recovery tab pages.
cd: Fixed now. See changed specification: http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/errorreporter/error_report_2_0_ui_specification.sxw
