openoffice word in guttsy crash when inserting picture

At my system work fine.
Azhar please show your hardware and driver info.

E.

im using hp pavilion dv1000, pentium m 1.7 ghz, 120gb hardisk, 786mb ram. Working fine in feisty, after upgrade to gutty openoffice give me headache. koffice also crash. right now im using abiword as alternative to openoffice.

I tried the same thing, but it works for me very well. What version of Open Office are you using, Azhar?

im using openoffice v 2.3. i've just remove openoffice from sun packaging and then reinstall openoffice from ubuntu archive. Right now it seem working. Need to test further more. I'll updating soon.

Hi Azhar, what Desktop theme are you using ?

i'm using gnome 2.2 that comes with guttys

Hi Azhar,

  I meant what desktop theme like human, crux, ...
  You can see these in System->Preferences->Appearance
  Open office 2.3.0 has problems with some themes, human should be OK

     Koen

i'm using custom themes downdloading from gnome art manager

do you still have the problem when you use the standard human theme ?

After reinstall openoffice suites my openoffice word running well with the standard human theme and also custom theme

New problems coming, with standard human theme, when open microsoft word *.doc, openoffice word crashed again. it will popup recovery dialog box, then click the recovery button, and openoffice continuously crash and crash.....

Is it one particular word document that is causing the problem or any word document? If it is one in particular can you attach the document to the launchpad bug?

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I've got gusty 7.10. Mine is freezing when inserting images. I have the human theme. I reinstalled all the openoffice.org packages using the ubuntu archives. I'm using OO Writer 2.3. I don't know what else to add. Happens with any doc and any image type. Very irritating.

Any free similar programs to use until this bug is fixed? Or go back to an old version of OO? Not back to feisty though.

Thanks.

I'm using 64-bit gutsy, Gnome Desktop 2.20.1, the human theme, and open office 2.3.0. If I click Insert >> Picture >> From File... then the dialog box comes up. The default location is:
~/.openoffice.org2/user/gallery

which seems kind of strange, I expect it to be the Documents or ~ directory.

The moment I try to navigate to any other directory, Open Office crashes. This happens with a new document or an existing document, and happens in Spreadsheet or Word Processor. The recovery wizard comes up, but actually doesn't work, and I have to physically kill soffice.bin.

Rebooting or CTRL+ALT+Backspace have no effect.

I believe that this bug has been corrected in Ubuntu hardy openoffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3 so I am marking it as Fix Released. If after upgrading you continue to have problems then please feel free to reopen this bug.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney
