Bug Description

The latest update to openoffice.org-2.2.0-ubuntu2 has introduced a Human style for the GUI.

Viewing the entries in the style selection drop-down list shows two entries for Human. The first of these appears to act the same as Default while the second applies the Human style.

I would suggest that the first Human entry is erroneous and will confuse users.

Looking at the additional packages forming part of this update, there was a style named Andromeda installed but it doesn't appear in the style selection drop-down list. Was the first Human entry actually meant to represent Andromeda?

Please ignore my previous comment. I see now that andromeda is a replacement for/is the old default style.

works for me; I don't see a duplicate entry; please recheck with a newly installed user, or from a recent daily live CD

Attached is a screenshot showing the dual entries.

This still occurs for the following conditions:

1) Deletion of .openoffice.org2 folder and running openoffice
2) For a new user account and running openoffice for the first time

There is definitely a problem here.

- is anybody else able to reproduce this?
- did you install OOo from other sources than Ubuntu before?
- do you see this on the live CD as well?

The systems on which this is apparent were installed from Feisty Herd 5 Alternate and updated with update-manager.

Feisty Herd 5 shipped with openoffice.org-2.2.0-rc3 and subsequent updates installed openoffice.org-2.2.0-final. The newest LiveCD image I was able to locate was the Feisty Beta which also ships with openoffice.org-2.2.0-rc3.

As the Human style was introduced with the openoffice.org-2.2.0-final package the LiveCD is no help in diagnosing this problem.

I tested the daily livecd of 2007-04-08 and the problem doesn't exist because the first Human style entry is replaced by Tango.

Checking my system I found that openoffice.org-style-tango was not installed. I installed this package but I still cannot get Tango to replace the first Human entry even after deleting .openoffice.org2.

It looks like this won't be a problem for new installations but there could be a problem for upgrades.

I can confirm that I've seen the double entry for the human theme bug when upgrading my laptop from Edgy final with patches to Feisty on the 16th April. One entry is the default and the other is the human theme like Neil reported.

This problem is also present for me with a clean install of released Feisty from the alternate CD.

When you say clean install do you mean clean install with latest updates? Are you using openoffice.org version 2.2.0-1ubuntu3? Pardon my ignorance but I couldn't easily find where the style selection drop-down list is, could you provide detailed instructions so I can try and reproduce this? Thanks in advance.

I've tried to reproduce this is gutsy and haven't seen it either. Could you please add the full output of 'dpkg -l human*'? Thanks again.

I have no idea where the human-gtk-theme entry came from. This system was installed from scratch.
