Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 62985
Missing text in buttons, menus, lists--until user profile removed in en_GB builds on Windows
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:04:37 UTC
The first two buttons on left are blank in welcome wizard in OOo 2.0.2, but buttons are OK in OOo 2.0.1 or before. System: - Windows 2000 Pro (my system) - Windows XP SP2 (according to person in URL above)

Also affects quicklaunch menu (thanks Lotus4669) on both our systems. The first four items don't have text, but the database does! http://www.coastalmedtech.com/images/quicklaunch.png
I've tried with the downloaded version from Germany/ftp.stardiv.de and everything looks good. Without a detailed description how to configure the XP-GUI we can't proceed.
Cannot reproduce. Maybe a problem with the graphical device driver?
Maybe it had something to do with an upgrade. I solved the problem by removing c:\program files\openoffice* and c:\documents and settings\*\application data\openoffice*. Also, there were missing icons in File->New menu.

When I upgraded 2.0.2 to 2.0.3r6, then the text was missing in the paste dialog (see screenshot attachment). Renaming my user profile directory again fixed the problem. Is there a particular file in that directory I should attach in Issue Tracker? Or I can e-mail the whole directory (1.1M) to a developer.
On a different machine (this one with Windows XP instead of 2K), I upgraded 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 and there was a gap in the Help menu until I removed the OOo profile.

@aziem: What language package are you using? I suspect that you are using some form of English, other than American English, like British English. If so, I would like to consolidate all of these issues into one issue. James McKenzie Mac OS X QA Testing Coordinator

James: No, just plain US English.
This issue only affects Windows, is related to en_US, and the issue is that the profile directory either has to be deleted or moved in order for the problem to clear. This appears to only happen if upgrading from one version of OpenOffice.org to another. It is my opinion that this issue has a limited audience, but also happened when I upgraded from OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 with the version for Mac OS X (Power PC) and has not happened since. This was due to two different profile directories. James McKenzie
