Public bug reported:

Everytime I start up libreoffice writer, a splash screen pops up, and as
soon as the loading bar appears with a tiny fraction of the loading bar
full, the system freezes. This happens every time I startup libreoffice
writer (thus libreoffice writer is unusable). I can still move the mouse
pointer and pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 successfully brings me to the command
prompt.

Things I have tried:
- Using different versions of Java - I have tried OpenJDK versions 6 and 7, as 
well as proprietary Java.
- Googling the problem, searching through AskUbuntu & Launchpad as well as 
LibreOffice website.
- Running libreoffice writer from the terminal, however, as the system freezes, 
any error it does throwback (if any), I cannot see.
- Running 64 bit and 32 bit libreoffice writer on 64 bit Ubuntu. The problem 
occurs for both instances. However, the problem does not occur running 32 bit 
libreoffice writer on 32 bit Ubuntu.

I should add I get a lot of random freezing which seems to be most
prevalent when opening windows/popups (but I emphasize random - it does
not always occur when opening windows/popups, nor everytime I get some
sort of new window/popup). With LibreOffice Writer however, this
freezing happens EVERYtime, at the exact same point in the loading
process, without exception.

I'm sorry if this report lacks info - I am a bit of a noob, but I will
happily provide log reports and similar such if needed (I don't really
know which logs are relevant and such).
