There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix  

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project
Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that
has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to
allow cross pollination.

Title:
  [Upstream] [hardy] Writer eats X server memory when using transparent
  PNG as page background

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “abiword” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  This is in Feisty, in OpenOffice.org Writer, in a document with multiple manual page breaks with different styles on each page (that is, using a different background image / watermark on each page).  As I type, memory use increases rapidly, eventually making the hard drive go nuts as all the swap space is used up.
  The end result is that I have to kill OpenOffice and hope I saved recently.

  WORKAROUND: Use LibreOffice Writer.
