Description williewalker 2006-11-13 22:19:06 UTC 
On Ubuntu Edgy with OOo 2.0.4-0ubuntu2 from Oct 16 (I wish I could more easily
cut/paste this information from the 'about' dialog), oowriter crashes if I do a
spell check while Orca is running.  The Orca version I'm using is from GNOME CVS
HEAD, but I believe the same crash will happen when running the Orca that is
installed by default with Ubuntu Edgy.  I marked this as a P2 since it "crashes
or freezes during normal operations of the application."

ES->OBR: can you reproduce it? I can't.
I have no Ubuntu and no info on where to find the latest Orca.

I have tried to reproduce this on Linux PPC with OOo 2.0.4-0ubuntu2 as well as
with OOo m188 (which is a milestone on the way to 2.1), but with the Orca
version shipped with Ubuntu Edgy => no crash.

Here is what I did:

open OOo writer, insert a dummy text by typing D T F3, switch to terminal and
launch Orca, switch back to OOo and press F7 to start spell checking, confirm
"continue at the beginning" and "spell checking completed" message boxes => done.

Thanks for looking at this.   I can still make OOo reliably crash with Orca
V1.0.0.  Here's a discrete set of steps:

1) Launch oowriter and Orca. 
2) Type "deez weel mayke ooo crashola" in a new document
3) Press F7. 

OOo crashes every time for me.

BTW, the official releases of Orca can be found here:

  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/orca

More information on Orca can be found at http://live.gnome.org/Orca

OBR->MT: as you plan to provide an image for Ubuntu Edgy Eft, can you please
install a recent version of ORCA in it and check whether you can reproduce this
crash ?

I downloaded OOo v2.1 (32bit Linux version) 
from the openoffice.org website and installed it.
With this version, I cannot reproduce the problem.

I tried to reproduce as follows:

1) Launched /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/swriter and Orca (from CVS HEAD). 
2) Typed "deez weel mayke ooo crashola" in a new document
3) Pressed F7.

The spell check dialog comes up nicely.

Will, can you close this as FIXED please? 
I don't have permission to do this. Thanks.
Comment 8 williewalker 2006-12-13 19:45:23 UTC 
Closing (if I may).  Thanks so much for fixing this, OOo team!
Comment 9 malte_timmermann 2007-01-18 09:16:49 UTC 
close.
