Type of code copy-pasted in generally C/C++, rarely awk, php, python or ruby.
When copy-pasting unformatted code (Edit->Paste Special or
Ctrl+Shift+V) nothing is happen, copied code appear in OO window.
When copy-pasting same code in AbiWord everything is normal.
Debian version unstable, dist-upgraded last week.
* DE Gnome : Version 2.14.3, Bulid Date 08/08/2006
* openoffice.org-writer/testing upgradeable from 2.0.4.dfsg.2-3 to
2.0.4.dfsg.2-4
* scite/testing uptodate 1.71-1
* xserver-xorg/testing uptodate 1:7.1.0-11
* fglrx-driver/testing uptodate 8.28.8-4 (last ATI drivers with Radeon
9200 (RV280) support)
* Linux debian 2.6.17-2-vserver-k7 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 19:32:15 UTC 2006
i686 GNU/Linux
bash --version GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Could be blamed (old) ATI proprietary drivers for this problem ?
I think I know why my desktop was flooded with a big number of OO (X)windows.
When copy-pasting one line of code (non blank), one Insert Section
window is showed, for two lines of code, two Insert Section windows
appear and so on, for hundreds of lines of code -> hundreds of
windows.
In every non-blank line inserted in OO Writer from Scite exist same
bytes that led to opening of Insert Section window (by pressing
Alt+I(nsert)+S(ection) ( probably ) keyboard keys).
