Re: [tdf-discuss] Bug in Contour Editor - Writer 4.0.2

Hello,

For your problem with the contour editor in Writer, I think you should
file a bug report.  The easiest way is to use the Bug Submission
Assistant <https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/>.  Please add me
<lo_bugs@iseries-guru.com> to the report, and I shall try to confirm
your report.

Terry,
