On arch amd64, openoffice.org installed from portage will crash when copying from calc to writer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: To replicate fault on AMD64 (untried on other arch) open two documents; one writer, the other calc. Copying from calc and paste in writer. Crashes. Actual Results: A screen displays offering that the documents are being saved. Then when openoffice is opened again, it offers recovery. Expected Results: The software should have copied the table from calc and inserted it into writer. None

Tried rebuilding with the following: USE="binfilter cups dbus debug eds gnome gstreamer gtk kde ldap mono nsplugin odk opengl pam templates" emerge openoffice no change in behaviour.
Another, possibly related bug, is that formulas that are saved in writer do not survive the save and reopen process.
I am facing this bug too. I first noticed it with formulas not surviving the save and reopen process when saved in writer. Now I tested that the copying doesn't work either. I am using my own ebuild to emerge openoffice but the only difference in that ebuild is MY_PV=3.1.1.4 instead of 3.1.1.2. And one line change in one of the patches but that doesn't affect this bug. This bug appears to be related to some use-flag. With no use-flags except linguas_en_GB enabled it works. Also it works with use flags "gtk java ldap". But it won't work with use flags "bash-completion cups dbus eds gnome gtk java ldap". I am trying to find out which use flag causes the error but emerging openoffice takes half an hour so I don't have more info at the moment. # emerge --info openoffice Portage 2.2_rc46

I can also confirm this bug on a stable x86 machine with this version of openoffice installed: $ eix openoffice [I] app-office/openoffice Installed versions: 3.1.1(03:21:09 10/13/09)(cups dbus gnome gtk java nsplugin opengl pam) Homepage: http://go-oo.org Description: OpenOffice.org, a full office productivity suite.
This bug occurs if openoffice is built with gnome use flag. I tested that with the ebuild from portage too. When I built it with command 'USE="-gnome" emerge openoffice' formulas in writer work fine but with gnome use flag they don't.
I tested this a bit more and found out that the configuration parameter --enable-gio causes this bug. My testing was done using default use flags for my system and -gnome and enabling one of the three gnome use flag dependent configuration options at a time. With the other to (--enable-gconf and --enable-lockdown) openoffice worked as it should and with --enable-gio this bug appeared again.
I can confirm what Niko states about the use flags. A workaround is not to include gnome support. I'll leave this bug as unresolved until the maintainer finds a fix or recommends it closed.
Sorry for taking so long to respond... Anyway: I can reproduce this bug on ~x86. Could you please file a bug at https://bugzilla.novell.com which is the correct upstream for ooo-build related issues and post the link here?
A quick alternative for the ebuild in portage would be to go back to using gnome-vfs instead of gio, though dependency (and cruft-) wise that's not something I'd prefer to pursue.

JFYI, with OOo 3.2 RC1 it does not crash but still does not paste in writer.

This bug seems to have been worked around. I refer to the 3.2.1 ebuild: #gio support still gives crashes, see i#108993 echo "--disable-gio" >> ${CONFFILE} Though checking the bug number in this comment, it seems unrelated. However, it seems we have this one worked around without losing too much functionality. I am suggesting we close this bug and mark it either LATER or UPSTREAM. Damien
Should be fixed nowaday (in libreoffice), also upstream issue
