Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Since recent upgrade to OpenOffice 3.2.0 in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid amd64 I
am experiencing a persistent crash of OpenOffice while trying to copy a
text with outlines (especially with bullets in the shape of small filled
circles) to clipboard in OO Writer. An important notice: the crash seems
occur when another Java application is being running by the moment of OO
start.
Manifestation: create or open any document in OO Writer which contains
bullet-outlined lines. Even three to five such lines could be
sufficient. Select a portion of text containing these lines. Everything
is fine by this moment. Then try to copy the selection to a clipboard by
any way (via keyboard shortcut, main menu or pop-up menu). OO gets
crashed immediately with a pop-up message window and an attempt to save
a document - apparently unsuccessful, since all non-saved changes will
have been lost upon the following auto recovery on next OO start. Re-
creating OO user profile, modifying amount of memory available to OO and
turning Java use on and off via OO options, changing file format between
.odt, .doc, .rtf - all have no effect on crash. What does have effect:
the crash is persistent with JDownloader being running by the moment of
OO launch, while without JDownloader running the issue seems to
disappear.
System configuration: OpenOffice 3.2.0 (all versions up to last one
available in repositories) on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid amd64; kernel
2.6.32-22, Gnome 2.30.0 and Sun Java runtime environment 1.6.0_20.
Other information: copying a significant amount of plain text without
any outlines and objects to a clipboard seems do not cause the crash.
Without JDownloader being running OO works just fine, but using Java in
other applications (web browser etc.) might trigger a similar crash.
This is just a guess, since no Java applications other than JDownloader
have been tested so far. 32-bit distribution has not been tested as
well. OO versions 2.8 and 3.1 in Ubuntu 9.04 32bit seem did not suffer
from the issue.
