Chris It is still happening after updating to the OOo-v3 I get with deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu hardy main added to my /etc/apt/sources.list.
As a precaution I also upped my RAM to 1Gb. So I'm looking a bit more closely at how little I can do to see the problem. If I decline the offer to repair the document loads and eventually runs away. If I accept the offer to recover the document, but do not acknowledge the successful recovery by clicking 'Finish' it still runs away. soffice becomes active in the top list, and starts to tick up mill time. It seems that after about 5 seconds of TIME+ as shown by top, something happens and %CPU rockets up into the high nineties. X seems to keep running, the console window with top continues to refresh every 3 seconds, all windows can be moved around. But whilst the other windows repaint after being obscured, the OOo window with the invitation to 'click Finish' does not - unless I wait for a very long time. After waiting for this very long time (as long as it has taken to write this report so far on a different system using only one finger per hand because I never learned anything better in my youth) I now note that the OOo window has refreshed, and the %CPU mostly sitting below 1%. So I will now click Finish ..... I'm at 12:03.xx of TIME+ soffice comes to the top of top and the %CPU starts to rocket - then after a second or so it falls back. I do the edit - deleting the block of lines. It completes - %CPU at 7% .... then rockets again for a long long time. So I'll wait and watch. TIME+ = 16:16 still 98% Start playing Freecell on the same machine so that I'm there when it emerges. I wipe the freecell window over the soffice window so that I will see it refresh..... TIME+ = 23:52 Card playing interrupted by soffice emerging from its loop. It looks as tough the loop takes about 12 minutes. My Calculate options - Iterations unticked, Steps greyed out 100, Minimum change 0.001. Look like defaults.
