Well, I just spent 2.5 hours downloading StarOffice 6.0 beta whatever..and it does the same thing that OpenOffice build 638 does..when I hit a popdown menu it has an unrecoverable error and exits. Until Sun gets it to run on all current Linux distributions it's dead as fara as I am concerned. I've been running 5.2 under 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 and now 7.2 with little more trouble then it's a bit slow. This POS doesn't run at all. :(
It's a case of "get it out the door" and it's sad.
I don't know what a popdown menu is, but if you mean the 'File' 'Edit' 'View' etc, they work just fine here. Did you install sun's jdk 1.3.1 that came with it? And it's not really 'out the door' is it. It's a beta. I'd be surprised if it didn't crash every now and then. Most betas do Anders
