Description Phil Anderson 2005-02-12 04:04:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since updating to the latest openoffice package for FC3, openoffice fails to
start with a 'new document' on startup.  No matter which openoffice.org menu
item I launch with, I'm greeted with an empty window!  I can then do
file->new->??? and everything is fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-1.1.3-5.5.0.fc3

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to the above version
2. Launch oowriter, or one of the other links

Actual results:
Empty window (see attachment)

Expected results:
A blank writer document

Same here.  I'm glad to have the printers back, however.
Comment 3 Jim 2005-02-12 15:12:29 UTC 
Workaround:

Include the component you wish to use in the command line. For example:

ooffice -writer

That seems to work for me. This is the way the official OpenOffice.org builds
work - if you just launch "soffice" it appears blank.
Comment 4 Phil Anderson 2005-02-12 22:55:13 UTC 
To fix this edit /usr/bin/ooffice changing line 39 to read:
my $BinSuffix = '';
