( in the steps above you say select Standard-Module1 and then click edit ) I would expect you would have needed to click 'New' because in a newly opened document there is no Module1 ( or any module ), perhaps you are creating the Dialog in the user specific application location ( My Dialogs/ My Macros ) b) in the case where the dialog doesn't crash where do you look for the Dialog because you don't mention opening the saved document c) is is possible for you to get a backtrace with gdb when the crash occurs? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

->Egbert some more info that might also help, a) what platform 32/64? b) kde or gnome? c) what version of openoffice are you using ( the one that comes with opensuse 11.2 ) or have you updated it from build service?

btw. I couldn't reproduce this issue with 32 gnome-live cd

I am working with a 32 platform, Toshiba Satellite desktop, KDE. The open office came with the openSUSE 11.2 (probably was part of the DVD .iso, but may also have been downloaded from the normal repository, don't remember now). Here some additional information: a) I was working through the tutorial "Chapter 10 - Getting started with base) I had already created Modul1 according to instructions, and typed the macros provided therein. Saved the work. Subsequently (after studying the instructions in the tutorial) I returned to that Module1 and clicked Edit in order to do the Dialog. b) It was not the Dialog that crashed, it was openOffice that crashed completely. The crash occurred usually when working with the second button that was placed there. I was able to do some more work as follows: Do only a little work, save, close the form, re-open the form, do a little more work, save, close the form, etc. etc..... But when I then saved the file, closed openOffice, re-opened openOffice, re-opened the file, the Dialog was no longer there. What I also observed was: The Dialog numbers kept updating with every new creation, i.e. Dialog1, Dialog2, Dialog3, etc. although the Dialog itself disappeared. c) Sorry, there was no Backtrace. If there is a Backtrace deposited somewhere in the file system, please let me know, I am certainly keen to send you. May be it is possible to create a Backtrace, if I do things in a certain way. Please let me know.
