Hi :)
Crashes often seem to be due to a wrong version of java but i can't imagine
java being called for that sort of thing. Mac users especially should make
sure they have the ultra-latest version. It is possible for most people to get
the pre-release version of java 1.7u4 but i think it's tricky for Mac users.
Pre-release means less malware but not necessarily completely malware free in
java these days.
1. Java is a bit of a nightmare and best avoided if possible and it mostly is
avoidable in LO.
Tools - Options - Java
and then uncheck the box to make sure LO doesn't use java. If it does need it
for soemthing you are doing (perhaps an Extension/Add-on or maybe a wizard or
Base might need it) then it generally just grumbles and lets you install or
re-tick the box in order to carry on. I don't think people have lost any data
but it might be best to back-up files (perhaps just do a quick copy of the
file) until you feel comfortable.
2. Could you rename your UserProfile to see if that stops the problem from
happening? Renaming the UserProfile removes any Extensions/Add-ons that might
be lingering from previous installs or picked-up from a version of
OpenOffice.org or maybe one of the other forks such as IBM's Lotus Symphony,
that may have been on your machine at some point in the past. It also sets all
the settings back to factory defaults (which may be different from the
settings just after a fresh install). This is the fastest and easiest quick
fix for most problems.
3. Please let us know which verion of LibreOffice and which platform (ie just
Windows or not is usually enough but if you can be a bit more specific that
helps). Click on the Help menu in LO and choose About to find the version of
LO if you don't already know.
4. Install the official TDF version of LibreOffice directly from the official
LibreOffice website
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
preferaby use the sentence at the top (Change sytem, version or language) to
get the more stable 3.4.6 and then come back to the 3.5.3 if you can first at
least get the more stable version working. The 3.5.3 has tons of extra
features but does sometimes run into problems.
5. Reporting possible bugs to forums and mailing lists is a good idea just to
check if it really is a bug or just something a bit wonky but fixable.
However you might want to file a proper bug-report in which case these 2 links
both get the same end-result
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
But these are really for the upstream version directly from the official
LibreOffice website and you might want to post against a specific version of
GnuLinux, such as Ubuntu's bug-tracker system in Launchpad
https://bugs.launchpad.net/

Tom :)

Instead of using the mouse, even the keyboard combination of control+Alt+C
is enough to cause the problem.

I read what you linked. Computers are complex things: a combination
of hardwares and software. Even LO is not to be excluded in this. There
are a variety of builds for 32 bit and 64 bit. Then the differences for
a variety of OS's. All of these are available at the LO website. Then
there are the repositories for each of the OS's. Yes, there are plenty
of places for bugs to appear.
In the past, some people relying on their OS's repository for their
OOo and reporting problems that others could not verify using the
version coming from the OOo website. At least some of them solved their
problem by replacing OOo using the OOo website version.
So, this is a possibility in your case as well. (The LO website
version might work better on your computer.) Or, 12.04 might not be
quite ready for prime time.
(Recently I upgraded a MacBook from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04. Now when
I log out of a standard user to one with administrative privileges, I
get a continuing stream of error messages involving settings. Perhaps
this might be caused by not doing a clean install. It seems that we all
have our problems.)
