Please help!!! > > the bug is that too many blank pages are inserted in this case. The fix is to analyze why this happened and prevent it. It is better to find and fix the root cause instead of fixing the result of obvious broken code. This means try to find the related code, build the code with debug info and step through the code to see what's going wrong. I know this is not easy because the code base is huge and complex. But keep in mind that you play with code of an enterprise ready office suite. Grown and developed over years and often code areas are developed by different people with different knowledge. Code get old and you find bad code and good code. Often you will find out that it can be improved and can be made better. Feel free to submit patches to improve code and that fix problems. Opengrok helps a lot to search and find specific function in the big code base. And the good thing is you will become more and more familiar with the code over time. We all cook with water only, so don't be shy :-) Juergen > > > On Sun, Apr 14, 2013 at 1:29 PM, janI <j...@apache.org> wrote: > > > On Apr 14, 2013 7:22 AM, "Rajath Shashidhara" <rajaths.raja...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > > > Hello, > > > I thought of an extension to this idea.
