Does moving/removing ~/.openoffice.org* directories help resolve this problem? I can't reproduce the hang.

Nope does not help.
Although it happens that if it crashed - soffice.bin is not started anymore (process is there but doesn't display any ui). Then deleting the ~/.openoffice.org does at least allow soffice.bin to start.

LCID Fire, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach a Writer file that this issue occurs with? Does this issue occur for you in LibreOffice Writer?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer
