Current Patch

  • Inserting characters using the Mac OS X Character Viewer window once again works properly.

  • Lines in certain charts no longer appear twice as thick as they appear in previous versions of NeoOffice.
  • Pressing the Page Up and Page Down keys when the toolbar’s font combobox is open no longer causes unexpected characters to be displayed.
  • Listboxes in several Base windows are now drawn properly.
  • Clicking and holding but not moving the mouse in an image in a Writer document will no longer delete the image.
  • Prevented NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code from triggering occasional hangs during the patch update check process.
