In case anybody missed it, OO.o 643 (developer build) is available. I'm
using it now and I've already found it faster and more reliable - not
bad for a pre-alpha but OSS is often a bit like that. IMHO its a must
for anybody with remote terminals, seems to work _much_ better over
remote X, at least on a quick examination.
Still have to disable the font preview menu for remote terminals,
though, unless you want it to take a week to scroll down as the font
server takes ~2s to send each font. Anybody have any ideas on a fix /
workaround for this that allows font previews without the hideous wait?
Still no right-click to save an embedded object (image etc) either. I
get _so_ many idiots sending me an MS word document with nothing but an
embedded image in it... *sigh*.
Anyway 643 installs happily in parallel to 1.0 so its worth giving it a try.
