Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 125999
Infinite loop on demand for new JRE
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:11:37 UTC
Using 4.1.1 (Build 9775, 13 Aug) on Win 8.1 and JRE 1.7.0_71, when trying to edit the keyboard layout to attach a macro to a key. Tools > Customize > Keyboard Tab > OpenOffice Macros OO opens a dialog box "JRE is Defective" which describes a way to fix the problem. Clicking on "OK" OR on the red kill X in the upper right corner does not allow OO to get back to normal. The dialog box remains and continues to hold the focus. The only recovery I've found is to use the Task Manager to kill OpenOffice. As an aside, I installed a new JRE and the problem came back. The two JRE versions I have tried are 1.7.0_71 and then 1.7.0. It may be significant that when I switch the selected JRE version, the list of available macros changes and usually my own macros (all from key capture) are gone.

Indeed, this warning dialogbox can appears several times. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 125944 ***
