Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 121203
Problem happens in all parts of the program
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:15:05 UTC
When opening word proccesor or spread sheet, any attempt to edit the document causes a "crash problem box to open, which offers to "recover the document". This resolves the issue once, then it will happen again and then the program freezes, which requires a "re-start" to regain control of the computer.
Please read the Release Notes: http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 manage the user profile differently than previous versions. The old user profile is automatically converted so that users can keep their extensions and settings. In a minority of cases, especially with highly customized profiles (many extensions or customizations) the conversion doesn't succeed. Common symptoms are: frequent application crashes, problems with dictionaries or thesaurus, OpenOffice starting and crashing after a few seconds. To solve this, just reset/rename your user profile as explained in the official OpenOffice forum. http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12426
If the fix described in the Release Notes fixed the crash problem, please let us know. Thanks! -Rob
No response, assuming dupe of profile bug. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 121625 ***
