Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Today on Feisty, Update Notifier prompted me to update, and so I did. Among the updates was an update from OOo 2.1.4 to 2.2.0, and this broke things. I traced the problem to a configuration setting in ~/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu. This is the relevant section before the update:

 <node oor:name="Misc">
  <prop oor:name="FirstRun" oor:type="xs:boolean">
   <value>false</value>
  </prop>
  <prop oor:name="SymbolStyle" oor:type="xs:string">
   <value>crystal</value>
  </prop>
  <prop oor:name="UseSystemFileDialog" oor:type="xs:boolean">
   <value>true</value>
  </prop>
  <prop oor:name="SymbolSet" oor:type="xs:short">
   <value>2</value>
  </prop>
 </node>

I had to edit the “SymbolSet” property—when I changed it to “1”, it no longer crashed when I started it. It seems that I am stuck with large toolbar buttons…

The settings that this section of Common.xcu belong to are the ones found in “Tools→Options...→OpenOffice.org→View→User Interface→Icon size and style”.

There seems to be problems with the Crystal set in its entirety. Some of the custom sections that were running off the side of the screen also caused it to crash. I don’t have a way to track down the problem though. I have changed my settings to the (ugly, IMHO) automatic settings all the way around and we’ll see if it’ll work that way.

Yes, deleting the config files is one option; editing them is
another. :-(
