Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70675
OOo crashes upon loading PNG with alpha masked
Last modified: 2006-10-26 10:19:02 UTC
1. I downloaded OOo-2.1.188-en_US (9077) from ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/X11/apps/openoffice/developer/680_m188 2. The archive's MD5 check sum was 9170c4a2a3690d1b1f6fb8a8d3ad172e 3. As root, I installed any of the RPM files the archive contained and ran SuSEconfig 4. As user, I issued /opt/ooo-dev2.1/program/swriter in an xterm (KDE terminal) 5. I completed the first start wizard normally 6. The splash screen was visible for a few seconds... 7. ...but than the crash reporter appeared. I sent the crash report (once), but then I got into a loop of crash report - file restoring - crash report and so on. The only way to stop OOo was to issue a SIGTERM (^c) in the terminal where it was running in the foreground. This means I was unable to start OOo 2.1.188 under Linux at all. The system was a fully patched SuSE 10.1 on an Intel P3, KDE desktop 3.5.5, a fresh profile (no pre-existing ${HOME}/.ooo-dev2) in a LANG='de_DE.UTF-8' environment. I'm sorry I can't give you the number of my crash report, as I did not got any response yet. However, I used my OOo mail account for submitting (which of course means mbayer@openoffice.org). Thanks for fixing Martin
confirmed, I can reproduce this behaviour on two different linux systems (downloaded the file from stardiv server) I can install and finish the first start wizard, but OOo crashes at once when I try to open a document or create a new one. This problem is only reproducible with the SUN-build.

Get the same behaviour with Fedora Core 5. Using KDE 3.5.4 (from ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/5/i386/). Currently running OO 2.0.4 (from http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/appl/openoffice/) with no problem. OOo -2.1.288 was downloaded from same source. My way of getting out of loop was to delete /opt/OO dev directory. Did send the error report.
I'm sorry I was mistaken about my KDE version (in case this makes any difference): my test system on that OOo-2.1.188 always crashed runs KDE 3.5.1 Level 'a'.
TM->HDU: Reproducible ! Occurs only under KDE, when using Gnome everything is OK. Please have a look, thanks.

Closing duplicate. The CWS with the fix didn't make it into SRC680_m190 yet.
