Crashes
by Martin on Friday 14/Jul/2006, @15:19
I wonder why software continues to have severe bugs. It is nice that crashes are fixed in 1.5.2 but this also means that 1.5.1 is buggy.

LOL wow, you made my day!

Unfortunately it is a reality the software is buggy. Some more, some less. Show me one piece of software with more than 5 lines of code which isn't!?!

More important is that there is an organized way to fix these bugs. And KDE / KOffice does have it.

Also you, like every user, can report bugs, document them, show a testcase (which you obviously have when you did experience a bug, just try to reduce it to the minimum required to trigger the bug.) Then this bug will be history quickly.

I'm using KOffice (mainly KWord and KSpread) in production for a long time, and I can see that it has reached a very good level by now, and that without the bloat which makes me hesitating to even start OO. There are still a few cases where I need other features, not yet available in KOffice, but they get less and less.

Keep on going you KOffice guys, your effort is very much appreciated!
