Description mrufino 2006-10-07 21:08:00 UTC 
There are some text files that crashes the Gnome desktop when I change the mode
view from "print layout" to "web layout". It occurs with simple text documents,
without images or objects of any kind, but with footnotes. The documents are not
large in size, with just something around 40-50 pages.
It's an appalling glitch, since the entire desktop and the X server are killed
and not just the openoffice itself.

The document opens fine for me.  I am using OOo version 2.0.4rc2 on Linux with
Gnome.

@mrufino: Are actually using OOo version 1.0.3? It is very old.
Comment 3 aziem 2006-10-08 17:58:42 UTC 
version: 1.0.3-->2.0.3
Submitter is using versions 2.0.2 and 2.0.3.  Version 2.0.2 is from Ubuntu (and
I'm not sure about 2.0.3).

On my system, I did change the layout without a crash.

@mrufino: Do you have the problem when using an unmodified OpenOffice.org from
http://download.openoffice.org ?  (You can convert RPM to DEB using alien.  The
crashing problem may be related to how Ubuntu modified OpenOffice.org, so if we
find that is true, the bug report belongs with Ubuntu.)
Comment 4 mrufino 2006-10-08 18:09:16 UTC 
I haven't tried the unmodified version from Openoffice.org. The problem happens
with the Ubuntu version (2.0.2) and with the version 2.0.3 from broffice, the
brazilian openoffice project. I'll download the rpm (and then convert it to deb)
from openoffice.org and then see what happens.

If X crahses, then it most likely is *not* a problem with the application, but
with X or one of its libraries itself.

No program should be able to crash the X-Server. 

Check your system for broken fonts that might crash your fontserver of
libfreetype and similar stuff.

No crash here either.

cloph, I believe you are right. I've just installed Abiword and the same problem
occurs when I try to open the odf text. So, it shouldn't be an openoffice glitch.
I'm changing then the issue resolution to "invalid". 
Thank everyone for the help.
