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.
