<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90798> describes a
strange problem: At least in one specific scenario, namely a specific
Vista box running the DEV300m19 OOo-Dev version, clicking on the
"Spreadsheet" button in the OOo start center leads to a crash. (Other
ways of creating a new spreadsheet like "File - New" are probably also
affected, but the "Spreadsheet" button scenario is for sure.) The only
explanation I have for that crash is that in certain cases catching a
C++ exception does not work. The big question is what is so special
about the failing setup described in issue 90798 (clicking "Spreadsheet"
works fine on other Vista boxes, as well as on other Windows platforms),
and whether this is a one-off problem for a single unhappy user or a
phenomenon observed by many.
Hence my question: Does anybody else experience crashes when clicking
on the "Spreadsheet" button in the OOo start center? (But please note
<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90835> which describes
the---probably unrelated---problem that the check for online updates may
cause a crash, and that check is started shortly after opening OOo. So
it might appear in rare cases that opening OOo and clicking
"Spreadsheet" causes a crash, when in fact it is the concurrent online
update check that causes it. Best disable the online update check for
this little experiment, or wait a couple minutes after opening OOo.)
