Public bug reported:
In Hardy, an install of openoffice that doesn't include the package
openoffice.org-java-common allows the user to:
- Insert a picture into a Writer document
- Right click on the picture and choose "Picture..." from the context menu
- Navigate to the "Macro" tab
which causes a dialog box to pop up informing the user that he/she
needs to install the package openoffice.org-java-common. The bug is
that there seems to be no way out of the dialog box! Clicking OK only
brings the box back up; the Picture dialog box is not responsive, and
the main openoffice window is not responsive. Trying to close the
warning dialog box doesn't work. Installing the openoffice.org-java-
package via synaptic/aptitude while the warning message is still visible
doesn't help. The only way out that I could tell was to kill the
soffice process.
I would expect there to be a more graceful response to this.
Not tried in intrepid.
