Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10806
Writer freezes after a few keyboard entries or mouseclicks
Last modified: 2003-10-01 07:14:35 UTC
I installed 1.0.2 alongside of 1.0.1 as root. If I call soffice in the ~/program dir, the writer freezes after a few (two sometines three) mouseclicks or keyboard pressings. It freezes to quickly to determine the build. When called from the commandline, it returns Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x23ca)! (the exclamation mark included); after that it has to be killed to let the window disappear. My distro is SuSE 8.1; kernel 2.4.19-4GB I just guessed 'code' as subcomponent. I'm sorry I'm unable to provide a stacktrace, maybe due to my ignorance.
I get this error as well (the sequence number varies) a few seconds after starting soffice. I'm using the 1.0.2 binary distibution installed into /usr/local/OpenOffice/. My setup is RH 7.1 (glibc 2.2.4), XFree86 4.2.99.3 (built w/ gcc 3.2.1), kernel 2.4.20-preempt.
Sounds nasty... but might be an X server problem. I've run into those on Debian 3.0 myself; sometimes it's a bad font. Can you try a fresh install of the latest version of your Linux distribution, plus a fresh install of OpenOffice1.1beta2 or later? Thanks!

I didn't get the error in the 1.1 branches. Should I have reported this earlier? Thanks anyway for solving! jehojakim
