Yes, libaccess-bridge-java is installed (it was installed all the time) so this is not the problem.

I did a fresh re-install of Ubuntu 10.10 and the problem still persists.

I have attached the document in question for testing. (I have briefly tested other docs with similar results)

I checked the document on a Fedora 14 install and the problem does not exist in that environment.
The only difference is that I am using Metacity for compositing in Fedora and Compiz in Ubuntu.

(In case you are wondering why I bother with compositing - I am setting up Orca as part of an adult literacy program, so it is not being used only for visual impairment)

Turning off Compiz in Ubuntu (ie. no compositing at all) makes a small difference - I can select an image once or twice before Writer crashes. With Compiz on it will crash immediately when an image is selected.

In case it matters - I have Gnome Panels turned off as well and Avant Window Navigator used as the panel manager.

I will test Fedora/Compiz in a while and report back.

I have reported this bug at LibreOffice as well: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36023
