Andre, this issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

loimpress -nologo

click Create button -> Insert -> Comment -> paste following into comment:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/588025

clicked Spacebar, notice no crash. Does this work for you?

I'm using Lucid Lynx LTS. The installed version of OpenOffice.org still crashes when inserting a link into a comment. Obviously this issue doesn't affect many users, and I stay away from URLs in comments. So I think, I can wait until 12.04 when the switch to LibreOffice will fix the issue. Thanks for investigating.

Andre, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
