Crash when saving (Hardy)

[mmxbass]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

As of this morning (April 22, 2008) openoffice crashes on ANY kind of save of certain documents whether it be export or "normal" regardless of the destination type.

See attached for an example of a file that crashes openoffice upon save/export.

mcas that is all meaningless to me, it's not even in English. I have NO IDEA what information you're asking me for.

I also can't reproduce this bug on Ubuntu Hardy. It appears that it may be a problem with the version of java you are using.

A full reinstall of all the openoffice packages as well as a rm -rf .openoffice.org2 seems to have cleared up the problem. I can no longer reproduce it myself.

My OpenOffice 2.4 in Hardy crashes instantly (application on screen goes gray) when I try to save or save as. I can't even type in a save name or select type of save i.e. openoffice or MSword. This does same no matter what OpenOffice document I use be it the word processor or presentation. I then have to "force quit". Any ideas? Oh yes, I am new to Ubuntu so it's ok to treat me as "don't have a clue".
