Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
OpenOffice crashes due to an extreme memory leak when I use a page background image.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Write a document, watch top (Xorg and soffice.bin memory usage stay in normal range)
2) Apply a page background image that covers the whole page (e.g. 72 dpi PNG for the whole page)
3) Scroll around, add some paragraphs.... watch top: Xorg memory usage increases by 5 MB for each new line! Scrolling a few pages up&down increases memory use by 300 MB
4) Computer begins to swap and Xorg becomes unusable. Only solution: killall -9 soffice.bin / Xorg from SSH
This bug does not appear when using a JPEG background image!
Bug appears with at least these OpenOffice versions, both from Ubuntu 7.10:
* AMD64: openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3, Tue Nov 27 19:01:17 GMT 2007
* i386: openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3, Tue Nov 27 18:52:42 GMT 2007
I can give you the document/images if you need them to reproduce the bug.

Sorry for the useless attachments, but I clicked "Report a bug" in my OpenOffice and it wanted to file it as a Firefox bug and attached these documents. Maybe I should open just another bug-reporting bug...
