Bug#459943: Confirm fior 2.3.1 in lenny and 2.4.0rc1 in unstable
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1:2.3.1-5
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I can confirm that bug on i386 on lenny (current as of 18.02.2008). I have
similar problems with almost all my documents that I created before version
2.3.1 entered testing. The community version of openoffice.org does open
these documents correctly, so I can also confirm their statement that it is a
debian related issue. I did however not find any solution to solve this
problem on my own. I tried to change several options relating java and
loading/saving document options in general, but none worked. The problem is
also relevant for impress-documents, not only for writer files. It is VERY
annoying if almost all your documents become inaccessible by a minor version
upgrade.
The bug is still existing in 2.4.0-rc1 in current unstable.
On my machine, the document of the initial poster also crashes openoffice. The
strange thing about this is that openoffice loads the document and displays
it correctly for about half of a second, than it crashed. This process
repeats, independently of whether I chose to recover the document (it states
that recovering was successful, opens, displays, and crashes) or whether I
abort recovering and load the document again (same behaviour as for the first
time).
Deleting ~/.openoffice.org2 and starting openoffice makes office open the
document successfully ONE TIME ONLY. After closing office and restarting, the
crash comes up again. I guess some of the settings in .openoffice.org2 get
messed up since version 2.3.1, but I have no idea how to further dig into the
reason for this.
Regards,
Heiner Markert
