Description of problem: Everytime I try to open a DOC file in OpenOffice.org it crashes X and sends me straight back to the GDM login. Considering that OOo is the primary office suite bundled with FC5 this is pretty bad! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.2-5.2.2.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Browse to DOC file 2.Double-Click to open (or right click and select Open) 3.Wind up back at the login prompt Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Have you got Xine installed? I've noticed strange behaviour like this with xine-lib. Does the doc file have many macros in?
No to Xine and no to macros - it's a straight-forward word document, with some extra styles.
Can you attach a small example which is causing a crash?
I would rather not post the document on a public system such as Bugzilla because it is commercially sensitive. Are there any log outputs I can post instead that might indicate what's going on?
Install OOo-debuginfo, run the word file and save the output of the crash. Post that here. I've attached a word file to this bug. Can you run it and see OOo dies? It should help identify the problem.
Created attachment 126316 [details] Small word file to test if it causes the same crash as already seen This file is not commercially sensitive, but is copyright the Association of C and C++ Users. It is used with permission
If it crashes X, then it's really an X bug, needless to say opening a generic .doc does not crash anything for me. You should mention all the X details you know, x.org version, the x.org conf, your video card and so forth. Does anything else crash X when launched, firefox/mozilla/glxgears ? Got a third party video driver, e.g. NVIDIA etc...
