The problem is not mentioned in 1.9.74 release notes: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/1.9.m74_snapshot.html
I did find a buglist, available through http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/project_issues.html but I did not find my problem. I suspect a bit more investigation there will answer my "where" and "how" to post a bug.
From here, you should try to search for the issue. If you can't find, then you should file an issue. You should try a few different search strings in both the summary and the description boxes. Bugs are not always easy to find.
Again, if you can't find, just file one, if it is a dup, it will be labeled as such.
I wanted to know whether there is a need to report my problem, and to whom and how it should be reported or if the problem is well known, being addressed by the developers, and how to find out. The hanging from the Quick Start isn't mentioned in the FAQ.
Always a need to file bugs. That is why the 1.9.x's are out. The more we find now, the less there will be one the beta comes out.
To file a big: Borrowed from G. Roderick Singleton: The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an issue. If you haven't already registered, do the following:
Go to <www.openoffice.org> click the Register link at the top right of of the page. Fill in your information and reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address you provided. Once you have confirmed, go to <www.openoffice.org> again and click on the "Bugs & Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.
In conclusion, I intend to contribute to the Author's project as, or as soon as, I am able. I will not be able to contribute anything to the projects unless I am using the latest OO.o.
That is great, I contribute there also. We need a lot of help right now as we approach the release of 2.0. You can head over to <www.oooauthors.org> to find out how to help.
Hence I will follow your first alternative, which is to download and install the latest OO.o version. I will have to tolerate the vexations from instability.
You may, just as a test, want to download 1.1.4 and see if that QS causes your system to hang. Also try to load your computer without the QS loaded so you can isolate the issue.
Of course, if it is fixed in 1.9.74, then it isn't an issue. :)
