OpenOffice Database crashes with table wizard

I tried downgrading to Java 1.5 too, same result

Which version of Ubuntu and openoffice are you running? If running openoffice 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5 please upgrade to the version in gutsy-updates which is 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3 and let me know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

Gutsy & 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3.

I made some more testing and digging around, apparently it has something to do with GTK theme as it works if I change to default Human theme.

I think I saw a bugreport about GTK theme problems somewhere so this is may be a duplicate report.

Yes indeed - this happens only with GTK themes with scrollbar buttons on top, for example always reproducable with Clearplastic:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Clearplastic?content=67813

Perhaps this is somehow related to bug 131526

Do you still have this problem on Ubuntu hardy (8.04) with OpenOffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3?

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

Chris,

I am having the same problem in Hardy. When I select a table that I created the whole program shuts down. It even crashes any other open office program I have open. Its strange I can create queries, copy tables and enter data into the tables, but there is just a few tables when selected makes the whole program crash. I can even delete the table that causes the crash because as soon as I select it, the program closes. I am using open office 2.4, on a lenovo R61, that originally came with the suse pre-load. Can you point me in the right direction so I can resolve this issue. Thanks

I just found this error log that is associated with the problem but not sure what it means:
