OpenOffice

Posted: Sun Aug 25, 2013 5:35 pmI did some checking, and it seems a lot of people are complaining about this. So the good news is, it will probably get fixed quickly, and also, there is a key combination that refreshes the screen when it gets junked up. But this bug is so obvious to me (it happens just about every time I scroll a spreadsheet) that I can't believe they let this out the door without realising the problem.
I generally take the approach towards Microsoft that you do towards Apple. But, I have been checking, and what gets included in most Linux distributions is no longer OpenOffice, but "LibreOffice", which is a spin-off. So I wonder if I should be switching to that.
