This is interesting Matthew. I have a gut feeling this is related to your X configuration and not OpenOffice. However the valid question is why does this happen only with OpenOffice. Would you be able to reconfigure X to default and try again?
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg Perhaps with a full update as well: e.g. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y -f dist-upgrade sudo apt-get -y autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean If this still happens we'll need backtraces and valgrinds on both X and OpenOffice. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash You might also want to run memtest86 from the Grub menu just to make certain it's not a memory issue. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- edgy: ooffice crashing x https://launchpad.net/bugs/64013 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
