Bug report for Open Office 2.1 Writer


When Format - Page is chosen Open Office Writer freezes, preventing changing
from portrait mode to landscape mode

Problem does not occur with spreadsheets or drawings, or with Open Office 1.1.5
text documents (I am running both 2.1 and 1.1.5)

Problem also existed in open office 2.0 (and possibly also in earlier recent
versions of Open Office e.g. 1.9, though not with 1.1.5)

UPDATE: have just discovered that similar freezing of Writer also occurs when
File - Properties is chosen

Details:

Open new Open Office Writer document (opens in portrait mode)

All functions are normal until Format- Page is chosen,

In particular

- keyboard works normally
- menu buttons function normally
- insertion point cursor (blinking) functions normally
- all items in Format menu (except Format Page) function normally

Then, when in menu bar click Format, then click Page, writer freezes

Blinking cursor (insertion point) is no longer visible (mouse arrow cursor is 
okay) 

Using the mouse:
- can maximise, minimise or restore window
- can change window size by dragging corners
- can move entire window by dragging on title bar
- cannot close window
- cannot scroll
- cannot activate any buttons on any of the menu bars

If then press "Enter"

- insertion point blinking cursor reappears
- normal functions returned

No other keys that I have tried have any effect


If  select Format -Page again, the application again freezes, and normal
function (except for Format -Page) can again be restored by hitting "Enter"

Cannot close application normally (need to go to Windows Task Manager and use
End Task button to close application)

Net result is that there is a workaround for continuing with the document in use
by hitting "Enter", but it is not possible to change from portrait to landscape
mode.


Operating System         
Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 (build 2195)           

Processor               
3.20 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
