Everybody can do this in all versions of OOo on all platforms. The bug
affects only (as far as I know) myself and two other users of Ubuntu
Edgy. I am on Edgy amd64, but the other two posted to a general Ubuntu
forum, so I don't know if they are on 32-bit or 64-bit. They also did
not post that they had found a fix. And I e-mailed them individually,
but have received no replies. In short, it is evidently a very obscure
bug. There may be more people affected than I have found, but if only
three people have reported it, it's safe to assume that it's very
infrequent.

That deals with crashing when pasting into other apps. OOo never
crashes for me. The only problems I have are that D&D of text inside
OOo does not work, and I can't get default tab settings to stick.

I have reinstalled it, but that did not change anything. I need to find
out what library the D&D of text uses. Perhaps that library is missing
or broken. That would explain why reinstalling OOo did not fix the
problem.
