Writer Crashes when selecting "Bibliography Database"

[Carlos]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Hi,

Writer crashes if the user selects Tools -> Bibliography Database. It happens every time.

There are several other bug reports (marked 'closed' or 'fix released') but this problem still happens with OO 3.1.1 in Karmic.

A quick workaround is to install openoffice-base.

Best regards.

I have found this bug too, and I think it is a very important bug...

I am also having this issue. Rather annoying trying to write research papers and no efficient way of making bibliographies.

Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit, Openoffice version 1:3.1.1-5ubuntu1

@Alex, @Marcso: Have you tried the workaround I mention, installing openoffice-base?
