            Bug ID: 108378
           Summary: API changes prevent xray from working
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.4.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: sdk
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jim.avera at gmail.com

Description:
xray, an *incredibly valuable* macro debugging tool for many years, stopped
working with Libre Office in version 4.4.   

Apparently xray is broken and unfixable because of some incompatible API
changes and/or changes to how documentation is indexed.
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=74169 may be
relevant. 

Some issues might be tinged by political/ideological/religious considerations,
but I hope those can be set aside.

Loss of the xray tool is a major loss for real users (who have to debug
macros).



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load xray tool 6.0 (attached XrayTool60_en.odt)
2. Enable macro execution
3. Click "Install Xray" on page 5 of the document

Actual Results:  
Run-time errors

Expected Results:
"Xray installed successfully"


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No
