Comment 3 for bug 248280

What is compiz?  Never heard of it.I have removed open office core (base) and writer which are causing the problem.   I couldn't uninstall the ENTIRE package of open office because Evolution is a part of it and I have important data there already.BUT while I have you, perhaps you can tell me if there is a configuration file for writer that I may delete or edit to fix the problem.I have done a few more tests and realize that open office MAY be causing problems with the new 'effects' that Ubuntu Hardy has.  As it is, that OS is known to be buggy and this may not be entirely the fault of Open Office, however, it seems to be persistent with only the Open Office Word Processor.  It seems as if the word processor is stuck in some kind of 'full screen, no titlebar' mode.  It is a major inconvenience because with the Ubuntu taskbar covered, I cannot switch between programs.  The only thing I can do is ALT-SPACEBAR and select to push it over to the next desktop.  But it is a pain to do that because it requires 'multiple moves', and it is something I shouldn't have to do.Anyway, as I said, if there is a configuration file that I should look at, perhaps we can start there.  I really don't want to delete the entire package and loose the data I have in Evolution.Thank You,Geo----- Original Message -----From: Chris Cheney Date: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 8:51 amSubject: [Bug 248280] Re: no titlebar in writerTo: <email address hidden>> Does turning off compiz and/or moving/removing ~/.openoffice.org2> resolve the problem for you?> > Thanks,> > Chris Cheney> > ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu)> Status: New => Incomplete> > -- > no titlebar in writer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/248280> You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber> of the bug.> > Status in “openoffice.org” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete> > Bug description:> Binary package hint: openoffice.org> > I encountered a potential bug in Open Office Writer (Word > Processor).
