[Upstream] [hardy] Trouble with OOo instances on separate displays

[Sergio Ĥlutĉin]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Ubuntu 7.10
When is two connections de two places using ssh -X and one account to one computer, i open two different rtf-documents from different displays and not close them. Both documents appears at the first display.

I think this probably due to openoffice only ever running one instance of itself, so I am not sure that this is actually considered a bug. Can you open another app that works the same way like firefox on both remote computers at the same time?

Thanks,

Chris

Firefox from the some display opens document in a new tab, from other display it correctly messages that it is already running and not opens document in non-current display. I can create new forefox profile for the second display or change the DISPLAY variable to open it in other display. OpenOffice ignores this variable in this case.

Confirmed and found upstream bug relating to it.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.
