How to reproduce : - Run the Live CD of Ubuntu Hardy RC. - In the examples folder, open oo-maxwell.odt - Right-click a formula and click "edit". - It says that the file is read-only and asks whether I want to edit a copy, click "ok". - Right-click a formula and click "object". - Click on the last tab, called "Macro". - It says "OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org.". - Click "ok". The same dialog reappears immediately. - Click "ok" again. Reappears again. - Repeat. Forever.
No way to get rid of it nicely, have to reboot (or kill OpenOffice for those who know how to). 100% reproducible. My optional story: As a science-oriented guy, when I ran the Live CD, the first thing that attracted me was the example "Maxwell" document. When I saw the nice formulas, I wanted to modify them. And so far I did not find how to do it, it is not obvious :-( Everybody in my case will right-click the formula, look for the right tab, and get stuck on this blocking bug. That is to say: many people will get this bug, please fix it quickly before Hardy release ! -- Stream of JRE errors when going to "Macros" tab in frame properties https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149489 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
