Issue 111642

Confirmed on Debian Linux 5.03 and Windows XP, so suspect it crosses all OS
platforms - URL is to a - so far inconclusive - OO Community Forum topic I
started on the issue that also lists the same code examples included below.

As illstrated in the OO Basic macro at the very bottom of this desciption,
assigning a value to a Python-implemeted readwrite attribute of a (UNOIDL)
user-defined Interface causes OO to freeze - soffice process must be killed
before any activity can be resumed.

This can be reproduced using the following example UNOIDL and python modules:

OO Basic Macro to test the issue (CAUTION:  As written, it WILL freeze soffice)

Option Explicit

Sub TestOOPythonComp
  Dim x as Object
  Dim y as Double
  x = createUnoService( "names.nick.openoffice.TestOOPythonCompImpl" )
  print x.TestOOPyDouble '  Displays value (47.3) without a problem
  y=23.7
  setTestOOPythonDouble(y) '  This works, as does "print getTestOOpythonDouble()"
  x.TestOOPyDouble=y '  CAUTION:  This causes OO to freeze:  Only killing the
soffice process frees OO up again
End Sub
