Bug#569903: SEGFAULT while copying from web
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:3.1.1-15
Severity: grave
Justification: Renders package unusable for copy&paste
X-Debbugs-CC: winnie@debian.org
Hey,
since some days openoffice writer starts to segfault while copying content from
webpages.
This issue is also being reported in launchpad bug: 452031 and I can confirm
this issue on debian using the newest version in unstable.
A short note how to reproduce this issue (copy&paste from the above mentioned
bug):
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Use firefox to go to
http://www.lerucher.com/dossiers/0400/creation2.asp?from=preparer_creation
2. Copy the text starting at "Executive Summary" until the end of the list
(including the list item icon)
3. Open OpenOffice.org writer
4. Paste in a new document what you copied from the website
5. SIGSEGV !
-------------------------------
This can be reproduced on several webpages. One which is very nasty is the
online exam webpage of my university where I would like to copy over exam
questions into a document.
Another page where I can confirm this is taz.de... I've currently no idea what
is going wrong there exactly.
Greetings
Jessica
