What I expected to happen:
I am trying to paste text from Openoffice Writer into a Thunderbird e-mail. I expected to be able to paste the text successfully via one of two methods.
1. Using the ctrl-v short-cut.
2. Highlighting the text in Openoffice Writer and pasting via a middle mouse button click in the Thunderbird e-mail.
What happened instead:
I am trying to paste text from Openoffice Writer into a Thunderbird e-mail. I have tried using both the short-cut Ctrl-V to do the paste as well as simply highlighting the text in OpenOffice and pasting with the middle mouse button. Either attempt causes Thunderbird to hang. After attempting to paste, I can no longer type anything in the e-mail, and the main Thunderbird client is also unresponsive. This hang persists until I close Thunderbird. When I try to close it, I see the customary pop-up box option asking if I want to wait it out or kill it outright. I have tried waiting some more, but that does not solve the problem. Invariably, I end up killing Thunderbird and starting again.
There are no other symptoms. There is no output stating what the problem is.
Unfortunately, this problem is not consistently reproducible. Sometimes, I can successfully paste (via either method) into Thunderbird, but often times I cannot.
This is a high priority problem as being able to paste text into Thunderbird e-mails is very important to its ease of use.
Additional Info:
Openoffice Writer version: 3.1.1
I experience a crash of Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 when pasting text (trough middle button or context menu) using Ubuntu 9.04.
I do not know if it is related or not.
I also tried it in safe-mode, but I do get the same effect: thunderbird -safe-mode thunderbird/ run-mozilla. sh: line 131: 2408 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
$ /usr/bin/
/usr/lib/
It can also happen when copying from and pasting in the same email. I do not need OpenOffice Writer.
