Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice Calc crashes when deleting a table created by the Data Pilot.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Load the attached minimal example spreadsheet into OpenOffice Calc.
2) Right-click on the Data Pilot table and from the popup menu choose "Delete..."

What I expect to happen:
The Data Pilot table should be deleted, and normal operation of the application should continue.

What happens instead:
OpenOffice crashes with a "Due to an unexpected error" message.

Additional Information:
This seems to be consistently repeatable, and happens whenever I try to delete any Data Pilot table in any spreadsheet file.
The problem was reproduced on another Xubuntu10.04 machine, but did not reproduce with OpenOffice3.2 running on a Microsoft Windows 2000 machine.

When attempting to remove the table by deleting the corresponding columns of the spreadsheet, the table "appears" to have been deleted without crashing, but:
b) when trying to enter data into the cells where the table used to be, an information popup appears saying "You cannot change this part of the Data Pilot table".
b) when right-clicking on the cells where the table used to be, the Data Pilot popup menu still appears (and choosing "Delete..." from this menu still crashes the application)

nick_s, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This is not reproducible in Ubuntu 10.10 LibreOffice Calc at the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/593405/+attachment/1425449/+files/OOdatapilot.ods && localc -nologo OOdatapilot.ods

Secondary click table -> click Delete notice no crash.

Does this work for you?
