Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2290
OO hangs when you try to open an app while quickstarter is being loaded

Hi, After turning on my PC, if I wait until the butterfly icon is shown in the system tray, then open a Writer window by clicking the Windows menu Start->Programs->OpenOffice.org 638->Text Document, the apparently normal behaviour is that the cursor momentarily changes to arrow+hourglass. After a while the Writer window comes up. So far so good. However, if I try to open a Writer window in the above way, except that I don't wait until the quickstarter butterfly has appeared in the system tray, OOo appears to hang. The cursor doesn't change, no window comes up, the butterfly doesn't appear in the system tray. I have to end the task "soffice" in order to open Writer. Although in the task list, soffice is not marked as "not responding" I get a dialog "application not responding" when ending the task. Best regards, Simon.
It's a known issue and will be fixed in one of the OOo versions.
The fix is in progress.
