Re: OpenOffice Crash when Clicking Hyperlinks

OpenOffice Writer and Calc will crash if you create an HTTP based hyperlink and click on it. On my system, the link opens in Konqueror, but OpenOffice freezes. This occurs in 2.0.2-2 and 2.0.2-3.

I found the earlier posting that recommended adding a "&" to line 56 of /usr/lib/openoffice/program/kde-open-url. That fixed the issue.

I noticed the following in the Openoffice changelog for 2.0.2-3: sensible-browser.diff: run sensible-browser with & in kde-open-url (closes: #336528)

I then upgraded from 2.0.2-2 to 2.0.2-3 and the problem returned. Likewise, the "&" disappeared in /usr/lib/openoffice/program/kde-open-url. The flaw lies with the package "openoffice.org-common." The changelog says the problem was fixed, but it seems not to have been.
