--- Comment #2 from MsB <[email protected]> ---
I've been asked to attach an example but I am unclear as how I can attach an
example of an intermittent bug that locks Writer when attempting to copy/paste
text from one document window to another. It's not as if there's some case in
which it always happens, or some document with which it always occurs.

I would note though that additional experimentation seems to indicate that this
bug seems most likely to happen under the following circumstances:

1) Add on to an existing document in Writer

2) Highlight the new section of it and press Ctrl-C

3) Open a new text document window in Writer

4) Attempt to Ctrl-V

It seems less likely to happen if the order of steps 2 and 3 are reversed (open
new document first, then highlight and copy), but I've been doing the different
order for a short enough period of time that I don't know if its just
perception or reality that its less likely to lock up that way.

Also I've only had it happen once so far when I was copying text within a
single document, but I do that rarely enough that again I'm not sure if that's
because of my relatively small sample size, or that whatever conditions cause
the copy/paste to fail are not occurring as often.

I'd note that I have deinstalled and reinstalled OpenOffice in hopes that would
fix whatever was causing this bug, but I'm still getting the lockups.
