Re: Balancing feature race and stability

Yes, the same with me. Every time KOffice team releases bugfix release I install it and try to use, only to discover that with just casual use (editing some tables in KWord, embedding a formula etc. - usually not more than after 10 minutes :-) ) one of the apps (usually KWord - but not always) crashes. Ehhh... I can only hope that they would really do some QA on KOffice2 :-)

Exactly like the subject states; tables are a balance where I honestly wanted to remove tables completely in the 1.5 series of releases since they were not up to snuff.
But removing stuff (even if it crashes for some people) is a big no-no, so we let it stay.

Needless to say we (and by that I mean I) really wanted to get it right, but for that we need some of the features that 2.0 will bring.
I expect tables to be so much improved in KOffice2 that you won't be able to stop using KWord even after a hour of playing ;)
