I've been reading this with some interest,. as I am using the "official"
version of OO2.1 on Ubuntu Dapper. I've been doing a lot of editing
recently, and have never yet had a problem with Drag and Drop.
I will never use the Ubuntu build of Open Office, because I don't trust
it. Besides being consistently one version behind, something is almost
always broken about it. For a long time they were leaving the Thesaurus
out, though after a while the Thesaurus could be loaded as a separate
component. They had some explanation as to why they "couldn't" include
the Thesaurus, but on the other hand, using the 'alien' utility, I could
install the "real" version, with working Thesaurus.
I would love to try using the non-Ubuntu version of OOo too. But I am
on Edgy amd64 and there is no 64-bit version of OOo 2.1, that is,
except for a very unstable beta version.
Perhaps I can install the 64-bit version of 2.04 using alien. However,
I can't find a .deb or an .rpm file of 64-bit 2.04, so I am stuck with
what I find in the Ubuntu repositories. That means 2.04, Ubuntu
edition. If someone can tell me where I can find a .deb or .rpm of
64-bit OOo, I'd be tempted to try it.
My apologies. I missed the part where you're on 64-bit.
My computer knowledge is improving, but still not great.
