Jack Leigh, regarding your comments https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/401003/comments/19 : >"This is fixed upstream and should make it into quantal (12.10)."
Great! >"Unfortunately it's not likely to be fixed in the LibO 3.5 series used on 12.04" We would not want to make this assumption. Once this report is marked Fix Released for Quantal, this bug could be sent through the SRU process first via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure , and if declined, then the backport process https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401003 Title: [upstream] Writer hangs indefinitely opening MS Word .doc Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “abiword” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-proposed/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/401003/+attachment/630609/+files/MS%20Office%20XP%20document.doc && lowriter -nologo MS\ Office\ XP\ document.doc and it opens quickly and successfully. 4) What happens instead is Writer hangs indefinitely.
