Re: OOwriter always hangs, and then quits unexpectedly when images are copied (copy/paste) from a website

Hi,

As stated in the title, my OOwriter always hangs and then quits
unexpectedly when I copy at least one image from a website. This
situation happens e.g. when I copy some text from wikipedia, and that
there are some images between the different paragraphs.

I just opened a new Writer 3.2.0-9+b1 document then selected the "title image" http://i.space.com/images/080702-voyager-01.jpg from http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/nasa-tracking-voyager2-problem-100506.html and pasted it into the document.

No errors, hangs or "quits".

Is it normal? It is really annoying. Technically speaking, copying and
pasting such images directly should be avoided, and the images should be
included from an image file, but doing this is not necessary,

An example would help.

                                                              and should
not be the only way to copy text without making OOwriter bugging! And,
sometimes, I do not even want the images, but as the selection in
Iceweasel/FF needs to be `continuous,' they need to be included in my
selection if I want to take a bunch of text into OOwriter, and then
remove the images from the copied stuff.

I selected all of the Early life section, copied it to the clipboard with Edit->Copy then bounced over to a new Writer document and pasted it with Edit->Paste. No problems whatsoever.
