Title:
  libreoffice-writer crashed and will not restart

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Writer crashed suddenly and will not reopen. I transferred the file I
  was working on to another computer and the file was locked for
  editing. I have managed to recover the document but still cannot
  restart Writer, even after a removal/re-installation of the
  libreoffice package. The other libreoffice programs are working fine.

  Restarted again and skipped through the recovery screens for
  "untitled" and managed to get Writer restarted. This still may cause a
  problem in the future as I do not know what caused the initial crash.
  Writer was locked up even after a logout and a reboot. I reinstalled
  the libreoffice package and still could not get Writer running until I
  went through the process kill in terminal. Program seems to be
  functioning normally for now...

  Hope you have enough info on this one...
