Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 76385
"JRE Defective" notification window loops and is modal.
Last modified: 2020-03-10 11:22:32 UTC
JRE Defective window is modal and renews itself constantly. Because the notification window is modal, I can not save my work or use the OOo gui at all. I had to kill OOo to get this solved. I think the color chooser window/tab should be closed so I could ok the notification. Here's a screenshot http://users.tkk.fi/~phyotyla/snapshot13.png I'm using Kubuntu 6.10 and OOo 2.0.4-0ubuntu5
Framework issue.
Can you please confirm with a native OOo 2.2 version?
Confirming with 2.3m211 on WinXP - as described. Repro steps: 1. Close Office (including quickstarter), rename folder with JRE. 2. Start Office and try activating any Java-dependant function (for example in Writer, insert picture, right-click it - Picture - Macro) - you get modal dialog that you can't disimiss.
TM->JL: reproducible in a m217 build, please have a look, thanks !

Bug bites OOo 3.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.x It's very difficult (but not impossible) to quit.
Issue 115438 is: > Dialogue 'JRE is Defective' presents an 'OK' button that does not respond to the keyboard
Created attachment 72870 [details] The Tools menu does **not** offer 'Options' (this should be a separate bug)
Created attachment 72871 [details] It's **impossible** to use the Help menu
> The Tools menu does **not** offer 'Options' On Mac OS X, the Help menu should show the true location of 'Options'. However: the combination of this issue 76385 and issue 115438 make it impossible to use the Help menu; any click on the word 'Help' causes the 'JRE is Defective' dialogue to reappear, requiring the user to move the mouse **away** from the Help menu.
> impossible to use the Help menu Correction, not quite impossible; a single click on the Help menu causes the 'JRE is Defective' dialogue to appear nine times. Following the ninth click, the Help menu presents.
>> The Tools menu does **not** offer 'Options' Issue 115439 is: > Dialogue 'JRE is Defective' describes a menu option that does not exist in OOo on Mac OS X

I can't believe this bug is so old. I came here to report it and a search took me here. The problem still happens with OpenOffice 3.3.0 on Windows 7 64-bit and the 32-bit version of the JRE 1.7.0_01 It takes several clicks to finally get that annoying dialog to disappear. o I followed the advice and went to set up a JRE. Unfortunately, adding a JRE fails since no matter what (sub-)folder I point to under C:\Program Files (x86)\Java, I get "the folder does not contain a jre environment". Really? I wonder how come other programs manage to find it.

It takes 15 clicks on "No" for me, for the dialog to go away. It's 5 clicks per script category ("My Macros", "OpenOffice macros", and document macros).
(In reply to damjan from comment #22) > It takes 15 clicks on "No" for me, for the dialog to go away. It's 5 clicks > per script category ("My Macros", "OpenOffice macros", and document macros). I can confirm 15 clicks on 4.1.3. But only 10 clicks on 4.2.0-dev from october 21. So maybe your SVN revision 1765170 fixed part of the problem?
