Openoffice (impress) crashes after changing slide design

[Juan Carlos Inostroza]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-impress

Steps to reproduce (at least, happened to me a couple of times with different .sxi & .odp files)

1.- Open the .sxi file
2.- Select "Format -> Slide Design"
3.- On the Slide Design Window, select "Load"
4.- Select any template (I used the ones in the Presentations, like Glossy, Human, etc) and click "Ok".
5.- Openoffice crashes.

Hi,
Thanks you for the bug report!
Could you give us extra information to help us pinpoint the bug :
- What version of ubuntu are you using?
- What version of openoffice.org-impress are you using (as seen in the synaptic package manager)?

I can reproduce and confirm the bug in ubuntu 7.04 on version 2.2.0-1ubuntu4 following the steps above (using a new presentation file)

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty, and Openoffice 2.2.0-1ubuntu4. Sorry for not including that on the report.

Found the bug upstream [1].
They claim they are not able to reproduce the bug, and that it might be ubuntu build's fault... If someone can check this with their version...

I believe that this bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) OpenOffice.org 1:2.3.0~rc1-1ubuntu2. Can you please try the up to date version and let me know if the problem still occurs for you?

Thanks,

Chris Cheney
