Hello,

the developers are already working to find a solution. It should be finished with the next service pack release. Please be patient.

Same problem after installing SM16 rev 749.1208
I do hope a fix will be available soon.

[Jim-J]

I sent you all an e-mail.

[kgha]

No, sorry, the hotfix distributed today via e-mail did not fix this issue.
What I did:
downloaded the .tgz file
unpacked it
copied all files from folder ~/downloads/ofl16_hotfix_8437 to /usr/share/office2016 (choosing "overwrite all")

[Jim-J]

I will send your answer to the developers.

Thank you.

[attilas]

Jim-J, if there is a fix to this issue, please send it to me too. (The latest I have: ofl16_hotfix_8770)

By the way it's a shame that after two months this issue is still unfixed, and even there is no temporary workaround for us.
Maybe you should (or I should?) hire some hackers and they will "fix" this issue in minutes. The Windows version is "already fixed" as I saw it - activation is not a problem for hackers, but problem for the legal users.

I'm considering requesting a refund if this issue will not be fixed in February.

Thank you Jim-J,

The ofl16_hotfix_7342 finally works for me, but now the message and dialog boxes comes up really slowly, takes 2-3 seconds, for example Tools > Options, or File > Page Setup. This issue goes away if In the Options > Appearance I untick the "Window Manager dialogs" option.

[Jim-J]

Hi,

I checked this issue with the same hotfix. The Tools->Options dialog opens with normal speed. I didn't notice any delays.

Is this also with another dialog?

Which Linux distribution are you using? Can you please tell me the specs of your hardware (CPU, RAM, GPU)?

[attilas]

Every message and dialog boxes are affected.

I’m using openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160208) (x86_64)

My hardware:
Dell Latitude E6520 notebook
CPU: i5-2540M CPU @ 2.60GH
RAM: 16GB DDR3-1333MHz
GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller)

The amount of hotfixes circulating is a bit confusing - I received version 8734, attilas obviously has got both 7077, 7342 and 8770. Version 7342 apparently works flawlessly for Jim-J and at least solves the connection required-issue for attilas (although at the price of slow dialogs).
I would be happy to try version 7342 and see how it works on my install (AbsoluteLinux 14.12, Lenovo U330p, CPU i5-4210U @ 1.70 GHz, RAM 8 MB).

[LanceGary]

I haven't received any of the hotfixes. Please can you use my gmail address?
