Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in openoffice.org.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I was unable to reproduce this using openoffice.org version 2.3.0-1ubuntu2 on amd64. The steps I took were going to the Insert menu and choosing Special Character.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I cannot confirm it, with version 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu2 on AMD64, but running as x86.
Which font are you using? I've tried DejaVu Sans and Times New Roman.

[Rafael C. Brandão (rcbrandao)]

oh.. and thanks for the quick replies! you guys rock!

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I've restored the original description.
Although it does not happen with the clearlooks gtk theme, it's still a bug and it should be kept here for reference at least.

This was your new description:
-----------
erhm.. i'm sorry.. nevermind this bug report please.. i've just changed my gtk theme back to clearlooks and now everything seems to be working fine. how can i get this bug report removed from here?
-----------

Which gtk theme triggered this error?

[Rafael C. Brandão (rcbrandao)]

oh! sure thing!
i was using lyrae's GAIA 0.3 theme.. in case i may post a link in here, you guys can get the theme from http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GAIA?content=63246

it uses 2 additional engines.. which are pixmap and mist. i've used this theme on feisty fawn for quite a while with no problems at all, just for the record.. the theme's very nice by the way...

thanks for the attention

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I could not reproduce this bug, after having installed the theme.
However, I seem to have run into other problems related to the theme (gnome-appearance-properties crashes, bug 150454).

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

After I've removed gtk-qt-engine I could now reproduce this crash, just after clicking on "insert special character", when using the GAIA theme.

[Rafael C. Brandão (rcbrandao)]

well.. i haven't ever got gtk-qt engine installed in here, i think. not even when i was still using feisty fawn, still it used to work before i updated to gutsy. it's interesting that it works ok with clearlooks.

[deters (lixoeletronico)]

I'm also with that problem, with all GTK themes that uses pixbuf/pixmap engine, in many windows inside openoffice.

My System:
Ubuntu 7.10 32 bits
BrOffice.org 2.3.0
openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu4

hey! i'm here once again to report that i've managed to reproduce this bug once again using the following theme: Frozen Plastic (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Frozen+Plastic+Suite?content=44781). I'm not sure though, whether this theme uses pixbuf/pixmap or not... in any case, i'll have to stick to clearlooks for a while...
