When I go to the menu Tools/Options, under the menu "OpenOffice.org / Security", if I click on the button "Macros security", OpenOffice totally freezes. I must kill the process. Under the same menu but at "OpenOffice.org / Java", OpenOffice freezes too. The problem exists for sure since OpenOffice 2.2 to 2.3. I use the package app-office/openoffice-bin Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Menu Tools / Options 2.OpenOffice.org / Security / Macros security button 3.Or OpenOffice.org / Java Actual Results: OpenOffice freezes. Expected Results: Simply displaying the options Java : dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.02 dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r15 OpenOffice : 2.2 or 2.3 I've tried to delete my user config directory (/home/*/.ooo-2.0) and the problem appears anyway.
Really don't see what we could fix with openoffice-bin. You need to report this upstream - see http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/ooQA-ReportBugs.html
Dublicate of bug #192917
(In reply to comment #2) > Dublicate of bug #192917 ??? That bug is about compile failure and completely unrelated to this freeze.
Can't reproduce here, both work perfectly fine, but I'm using sun-jdk-1.5 as my system java, so you might try if changing this helps you

Same problem. I'm not sure that the problem comes from Java. I've noticed one interesting thing : when the "Security" window freezes, if I do a "ps aux | grep office" and then, kill one of the OpenOffice process running (/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin, which appears two times, with two differents PIDs), the Macro Security window suddenly appears.
Is this still a problem for you with a more recent OOo?
(In reply to comment #6) > Is this still a problem for you with a more recent OOo? > Yep, with openoffice-bin-2.4.0 I still have these two problems (the one with Java and the one with the macros security window).
Aaah, no, I didn't check correctly with openoffice-bin-2.4.0, sorry. The freezes are no more. I changed my PC since the time I filed the bug report but before the 2.4.0 version, the bug was still there. Sorry for my last wrong answer.
