Hi Brian - Thanks for your suggestion. That step was taken before reporting the bug. Since reporting the bug there have been several Ubuntu updates through software center. LO Calc continued to behave the same.
However I did not reinitialize the configuration since the updates. Per your instruction I did. Then I launched Calc by double clicking a file - window frame appeared - window frame and area inside frame went gray - spreadsheet appeared (elapsed time 54 sec) Checked contents of sub-menus. File | New, File | Recent Documents, File | Wizards, File | Send and File | Templates all have their child entries. Sub-menus of every other main menu item were stubs with no entries displayed. e.g. Edit | Changes, Edit | Fill, and on to Data | Pivot Table are all empty menu stubs. Please note (I'll run ubuntu-bug if you wish) this also occurs with Writer. I haven't noticed it in Base (which I use infrequently) and haven't opened Impress or Draw in ages so have no idea if they are affected. Also note, as you might imagine, this is a frustrating bug. Makes first use of Calc/Writer very agonizing. So I relented recently and installed AOO from Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.1_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en- US.tar.gz. I am not experiencing this problem with AOO. And last note, I have a spreadsheet, 16.1 Kbs, with 19 pages and contianing about 300 cells with conditional formating. It was taking about a minute to open / save in LO even after "pre opening" LO to make sure complete menus would appear. As of now the spreadsheet no longer opens in LO and an Ubuntu error report is generated on first attempt to open. It opens in about 5 seconds with AOO. Let me know any additional trouble shooting / bug collecting steps you need. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1165440 Title: calc freezes when beginning to edit new or existing spreadsheet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1165440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
