Often when dialogs are opened - Writer freezes - does not react anymore. Seems like it's not opening dialogs properly and get stuck there.

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

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

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
