Re: [Bug 131526] Re: [gutsy] OpenOffice crashes/hangs on errors in current gtk theme
Has anyone considered compiling the latest version of OpenOffice (directly obtained from OOo) seeing whether they have the same issue and reporting the bug directly to them? I expect I'd go spare compiling it, anyone willing to put their sanity on the line? On 10/22/07, down8ve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike, > > Yep, you are right.

Let's make this a critical bug. Agreed. There is _nothing_ that is more important than having the system work as it should. And such an easily changable user component such as a theme should be utterly incapable of bringing any system or application down to its knees. This looks like a poor design issue inside of OpenOffice.org. Alternatively, I have found that a (better, IMHO) workaround for me is to simply use Abiword and Gnumeric. --- Mike -- Michael B.

I use clearlooks theme and open office will work. it is the GTK theme issue - is what I have seen. Some themes will crash openoffice.
