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. > I wonder if this is related: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/62432 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
