Description dmcilroy 2007-10-02 01:03:39 UTC 
When starting ooffice on a document specified on the command line, occasionally
the fvwm window manager switches mouse-tracking to a very sampling rate and does
not respond to any click anywhere on the screen.  The "fix" is to reboot.

This seems like the problem that the ooffice readme warns of: "often caused by
the graphics card driver".  My sysadmin says:

>You have a reasonably up to date kernel and Xorg driver for
>your ATI Radeon VE/7000 QY  video driver.
>The RPM name is xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1 -- see 
>/var/log/Xorg.0.log  for all the details.

The OS is:
Linux version 2.6.22.7-57.fc6 (brewbuilder@hs20-bc2-3.build.redhat.com) (gcc
version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)) #1 SMP Fri Sep 21 20:23:24 EDT 2007

It seems the trouble may happen when I dismiss the pop-up style palette at the
same time the document is appearing on the screen--but this is grasping at straws.

Does the finger seem to point at the driver?  If so are there any confirming
tests I might try, such as trying some non-ooffice application known to be
similarly sensitive?

What OOo version you are using exactly? Where downloaded from? The version
information you gave is about OOo 2.0.4. This is pretty outdated, 2.3 is the
current version. Cann you confirm for the current version?

dmcilroy,
please upgrade to Office 2.3.1 and see if you still have the same problem.
