One "regression" that merits immediate attention is crashing on Windows when trying to edit a macro embedded in a Writer or Calc document ( I haven't checked Impress or Base yet). If I open a new document and try to make an embedded macro (menus Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> OpenOffice Basic) OpenOffice crashes immediately after I accept the default module name of Module1. Going through the recovery process, I am asked to Enable or Disable macros, so the module is created but I cannot get at it. I can edit the Standard library in My Macros but it is unstable. For example, if I select two lines of code and press backspace, the program crashes. This problem started after a Windows update last summer. I thought a subsequent update fixed it, but I was wrong. I have checked 4.1.5, 4.1.6 and 4.2.0 and it affects all of them. It is not really a regression, since 4.1.5 worked fine until the Windows update, but Windows users cannot use macros. I looked for a bug report and did not find one but my Bugzilla skills are poor. Are the devs aware of this problem?
