Bug#336528: Subject: openoffice.org: openoffice freezes when clicking on help->register
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: normal
There is a bug in the registering function of openoffice : I use
openoffice-kde package and when I click on help -> register, the help
menu stays on top and konqueror start behind. It seems to load the
page fine, but that's impossible to get it on foreground, and every
mouse action become useless. For exemple, it's impossible to switch
virtuals desktops using the mouse, BUT it is with the keyboard hotkey.
Help/register menu stays on top on every virtual desktop.
The only way I found to get my mouse working back is killall
soffice.bin.
After that everything works again.
I asked on a forum if other peoples had experienced this problem and
someone who was using neither openoffice-kde nor kde did.
He first tried whis firefox allready running, got an error message
(error while starting the web browser, check the parameters of
OpenOffice.org and the web browser) but openoffice registering page
has nevertheless been loaded. Then he tried with firefox stopped, and
OpenOffice has freezed exactly like it did for me.
