In Ubuntu 10.10, went to http://www.mathsteacher.com.au/year7/ch12_length/06_rect/rect.htm selected the entire page via Ctrl+A, then dragged and dropped into blank libreoffice-writer file it printed the html code. Same webpage did Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C, the Ctrl+V into blank libreoffice-writer file, crashed the first time (auto-apport did not kick in, was not stracing, valgrinding, etc). The second and subsequent times, did not crash and pasted the webpage icons reasonably well.
