A weird bug appear when copy&paste from SciTE text editor (syntax highlighted code) to OpenOffice Writer. The desktop is flooded with (OpenOffice popup) windows , in short time, the entier system became uncontrolable and crash, keyboard or mouse , gradually stop to respond, and ssh connections are refused (which normally works fine).
