[Bug 62432] Re: Crash when copying text from OpenOffice to other applications

 

OO 3.2.0 crash while running another Java application on Ubuntu 10.04

Since recent upgrade to OpenOffice 3.2.0 in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid amd64 I
am experiencing a persistent crash of OpenOffice while trying to copy a
text with outlines (especially with bullets in the shape of small filled
circles) to clipboard in OO Writer. An important notice: the crash seems
occur only when another Java application is being running by the moment
of OO start.

Manifestation: create or open any document in OO Writer which contains
bullet-outlined lines. Even three to five such lines could be
sufficient. Select a portion of text containing these lines. Everything
is fine by this moment. Then try to copy the selection to a clipboard by
any way (via keyboard shortcut, main menu or pop-up menu). OO gets
crashed immediately with a pop-up message window and an attempt to save
a document - apparently unsuccessful, since all non-saved changes will
have been lost upon the following auto recovery on next OO start. Re-
creating OO user profile, modifying amount of memory available to OO and
turning Java use on and off via OO options, changing file format between
.odt, .doc, .rtf - all have no effect on crash. What does have effect:
the crash is being persistent with JDownloader being running by the
moment of OO launch, while without JDownloader running the issue seems
to disappear.

System configuration: OpenOffice 3.2.0 (all versions up to last one
available in repositories) on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid amd64; kernel
2.6.32-22 and Gnome 2.30.0 and Sun Java runtime environment 1.6.0_18 and
1.6.0_20.

Other information: copying a significant amount of plain text without
any outlines and objects to a clipboard seems do not cause the crash.
Without JDownloader being running OO works just fine, but using Java in
other applications like web browser might trigger a similar crash. This
is just a guess, since no Java applications other than JDownloader have
been tested so far.  32-bit distribution has not been tested as well. OO
versions 2.8 and 3.1 in Ubuntu 9.04 32bit seem did not suffer from the
issue.
