A temporary way to get around this problem until the bug is fixed is to select an item in OpenOffice and paste it into a blank document opened with gedit. Then select the pasted item in gedit and copy it. It will then paste into Thunderbird email without crashing OpenOffice.
While doing this I noted that numbers generated by the OpenOffice autonumber feature did not paste accurately. I selected an item numbered 18 and pasted it into gedit and it got the number 14. -- Crash when copying text from OpenOffice to other applications https://launchpad.net/bugs/62432 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
