This bug was first reported to the OOo Bugzilla, see URL. It seems like I can reproduce it with the source ebuild only, the binary one works fine (while the binary 2.0.2 shows the same behaviour). I compiled OOo 2.0.3 from the sources and purged my ~/.ooo-2.0 directory. Afterwards, the letter wizard (and others) had problems creating a new document, see URL for details. ss@otherland ~ $ emerge -pv openoffice These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

The OOo team says: "Sorry, but we do not support packages from other distributors." As the openoffice-bin ebuild seem to work fine (and the self built one with a ~/.ooo-2.0 directory created by the -bin one), maybe one of the Gentoo patches or the build environment breaks it.
I would diff the two ~/.ooo-2.0/ directories. Like: # diff -Nur ~/.ooo-2.0.broken/ ~/.ooo-2.0.working/ > /tmp/ooo-config.diff Then you may attach that diff, please.
Good idea. Will do so when I've got some spare time.
oo-bin doesn't work for me (as far as the Add Dict wizard is concerned) OOo isn't writing anything to the console.

Besides that, I can confirm the original issue, so will have to take another look into this
The problem is gone now for me, maybe some java-issue. Could you try OOo 2.0.4_rc1 and see if that works for you?

What I noticed is that the wizards in oocalc2 seem to not large enough, in the horizontal direction, to show all the buttons and extends off the screen on the bottom. The happen for me with the formula editor. The formal cells pop-up is sized appropriately horizontally but extends off the screen on the bottom. I am running openoffice in kde. Here are my use flags I built it: [ Found these USE variables for app-office/openoffice-2.0.3 ] U I + + cairo : Enable cairo support + + eds : Enables support for Evolution-Data-Server (EDS) + + firefox : Build against Firefox instead of Mozilla + + gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) + + java : Adds support for Java + + kde : Adds support for kde-base/kde (K Desktop Enviroment) + + linguas_en : <unknown> + + linguas_en_GB : <unknown> + + mono : Build Mono bindings to support dotnet type stuff + + odk : Build the Office Development Kit + + pam : Adds support PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) - DANGEROUS to arbitrarily flip + + xml : Add support for XML files

Here are my use flags I built it: How is this related to the original bug report?
I felt adding my comments was appropriate since the title of the bug was that openoffice breaks wizards. Should it be a seprate bug? I thought it was a good thing to combine the two.

If you open a new bug please add a screenshot to illustrate your problem, also try out 2.0.4_rc1-r1 first and see if maybe the problem has already been solved
Re the original bug and 2.0.4_rc1: I'm currently not much at home and dont have the time to try 2.0.4 but I'll do when I have a (long) moment.
I checked out OOo 2.0.4_rc2 and the issue seems to be fixed. Might also be caused by my switch to GCC 4.1.1, anyway, it works for me now.
