Comment 22 for bug 229839

Well, if you take a look at the file-size of OOO, which is depending on the platform, but WAY above 100MB, then I can figure why this fat piece of code doesn't fly....

Anyhow, the "map network drive" refers IIRC to map a drive letter to an UNC Path, that's:

X: points to \\myserver\myshare

So you actually don't "browse" the network and open it via something like in linux terms as smb://myserver/myshare/mydocument.odt, but as a semi-local thing like ~/.gvfs/myserver/myshare/mydocument.odt

It is well known, that those network paths break severeal applications, as they can't handle it....

Actually I can check, if OOO on XP will behave as noted here, and if time allows I will do so.

Out of frustration I checked out GNOME-Office again... at least file opening and saving works like a charm there :)
