You might say I'm a bit baffled by this. It's not new, but hasn't been a big issue until recently when I'm trying to work on a lot of documents.
Could you please report the problem with all these interensting details at https://bugzilla.novell.com against the product OpenOffice.org?
I do not promise anything. These "random" problems are usually hard to debug and fix. Anyway, the mentioned document looks promissing. There is something on the page 38 that helps to trigger the problem. Could you please attach the document to the bug? It might help a lot.
Also please mention more details about your system, see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:OOo#What_to_include_in_bug_reports
Do you have more CPUs? It might be a race condition. It is possible that the problem is hidden in the virtual machines.
Also it might be a problem with your graphics card. Well, it would probably freeze the whole system. Anyway, such problems might be filtered by the VBox as well.
Another possibility would be a problem with memory. Are you out of memory when the process freezes? You might see it by the commands "top" or "free".
OOo had problems with particular fonts in the past. It is possible that the problematic font is just missing on the other systems.
Yes, it is possible that there is an openSUSE-specific bug. Though, I think that it works on the other systems just by chance. For example, also Ubuntu uses the extra patches from Go-oo, ooo-build, see http://go-oo.org/= > so the Ubuntu build should not be that different.
Petr, I am finally installing 3.1 as I write so I can follow up with this issue as well. I had to fight yast to install 3.1, it just kept showing 2.4, all the other languages of 3.1, but it would not let me upgrade (very strange). So I ended up just copying the OO package names and doing a zypper in -r OpenOffice <long sting of packages> and it is finally installing. I'll let you know. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
