Hi :) I think there is a list for people working in QA http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa and hopefully a section of the wiki. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA
Tbh i thought it was more about testing to see if the stated improvements and bug-fixes really worked and then as a side issue tried various existing features to check they hadn't been broken by the new code. Sounds like you are putting too much work into testing just 1 aspect but that happens to be an aspect that many of us are particularly interested to see working properly. So, good work chap! :) Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: C. H.
