Yes, it is the OOo 2.0.4 from the 64-bit Ubuntu repositories. That is the only
version currently in the repositories.
I realize that it is standard OOo advice to tell the user install the version
from OOo instead of the version released by the distro, but you cannot install
32-bit OOo on 64-bit Edgy unless you do so in a completely 32-bit environment,
e.g., with chroot, VMware, etc. I suppose I could try to compile from source,
but, given the complexity of OOo, I suspect that would create more problems than
it would solve. If OOo would make a 64-bit .deb file available I'd be more than
happy to give it a go.
I did try to follow that advice by installing 2.1 from 64-bit .debs I found
online (not from openoffice.org), but it did not resolve the drag and drop of
text problem. While those .debs were not official, the fact that the drag and
drop of text problem was not resolved by installing 2.1 tells me that it is not
a bug that was fixed in later releases.
This smells to me a lot like I either have something else installed that is
creating a conflict, or I am missing something that OOo requires for drag and
drop of text. If I knew what OOo uses for drag and drop of text I could possibly
sleuth it out on my own. For example, does OOo use a feature of Gnome for drag
and drop of text? Is there a library that drag and drop of text depends on? How
does the code work? And I can add that I also have a problem with some settings
in Tools > Options not being saved to the default template. I suspect the issues
are related.
I'm not a programmer, but I feel that I owe it to the community to do as much as
I can to help make OOo a better application for everyone.
