Libre Office problem

by Abrolag :: Rate this Message:

| View Threaded | Show Only this Message

My default setup is a fully updated debian squeeze and uses:
rox-filer-2.9
rox-lib2-2.0.5
rox-session-0.41.0

openbox 3.4.11.1 (as suppled by the distro)

I unpacked the debian version of LO 3.3.0 and the GB language pack and
installed it without apparent problems.

However, if I try to save an new file or use 'Save As' to try to create a new
version of a file, LO freezes at the point where it should open the save
dialogue. If I simply re-save an edited document back on itself there is no
problem.

Open Office 3.2.0 doesn't have this problem.

Curiously, if (on the same machine) I log out, then log back in to the Gnome
desktop LO performs its saves quite correctly.

What I don't know is whether the fault is with LO, OpenBox or ROX. Or is it
some ambiguity that two elements are interpreting differently?

Suggestions welcome. I would really like to move from OO to LO.

I can now confirm it is definitely something between LO and ROX :(

If I start a plain openbox session and use xterm to bring up LO it performs all
operations correctly, but if I then use rox -S to bring up the icon bar with
its goodies then then LO save problem shows up :(

I could really do with some help here guys.

Sadly it's working fine for me

ROX-Filer-2.10
ROXLib2-20.6
ROX-Session-0.41.0

Maybe you need to update?

Just got some information from an Open Box user.

Libre office has a new option in Tools>Options>General that selects whether you
use the default dialogues or Libre Offices' ones. Checking this seems to cure
the problem. Presumably there is some odd problem with Libre Office
and gtk. Strange that I don't show the same problem with Open Office, and that
option isn't there either!
