Bug Description
I have noticed the following behavior many a times for all open office applications (like writer, spread sheet)
- Some times the office applications start intermittently freezing and won't behave properly unless I reboot the laptop
- While doing most of the operations like mouse wheel scrolling, selecting something from menus the open office window freezes for 5-6 seconds and then unfreezes and proceeds with the operation (e.g. clicking on file menu freezes the window and after 5-6 second the menu drop down is shown. If I again try to proceed again the window freezes. Certain operations like scrolling of pages by clicking the arrow keys at the top and bottom of the right hand side scroll bar and clicks on the body of the scroll bar works seamlessly (however dragging of the scroll bar freezes the window)
- This way working in open office becomes quite impossible unless I reboot my laptop.
I tried to debug this behavior by installing the debug symbols but got the following error during the installation,
openoffice.
Depends: openoffice.
So presently can't debug.
I am running Hardy Heron on my HP laptop.

Further update. Now after closing the documents and opening after some time I am experiencing that the issue has vanished for now. So every time a reboot might not be necessarily required. However, I distinctly remember that merely closing and reopening the documents hadn't worked earlier.
