Bug Description

Hi there!

Openoffice writer hangs when I have a Table inside and I mark one or more cells and I do on the context menu or in the menu when I do the Table -> Zahlenformat (Number format).

Version: 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.1 (actual gusty)
How can I now format my numbers?

Thanks,
Martin

Thank you for reporting the bug you've found.

What Gnome theme are you using?
There is bug 131526, which causes crashes because of some themes. You can see what theme you are using in "System / Preferences / Appearance" from the Gnome toolbar. Please try, if using "Human" (the default theme) fixes this.
Please report back, if this is the cause of your problem(s).

Since I reported the bug I changed my theme a few times, so I'm sorry I cannot tell you the theme, I used because I never had the idea that the theme could be the reason for the bug.

At the moment I'm using Clearlooks, and it seems to work well.
Just to know, do you know and can you explain short, why the theme is responsible for this bug?

Thank you.

From the OOo bug report: "gtk themes like ThinIce reveals we're using incorrect frees on theme resources"
I'm marking it as duplicate.
