Bug#452564: openoffice.org: opens file in incorrect directory when openoffice is already running
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1:2.3.0.dfsg-2
Severity: normal
When OpenOffice.org is already running and one types
"openoffice file.odt", OpenOffice.org opens the file from
an incorrect directory. For instance:
$ cd /tmp
$ openoffice
$ cd some_directory
$ openoffice file.odt
This gives an error: "/tmp/file.odt does not exist." instead of opening
the file from some_directory.
This has some security/privacy implications. For instance, if the file
exists in this other directory, then the wrong file is opened... and
modified if the user modifies the file. And the user isn't necessarily
aware of that.
