OpenOffice.org 643 Main menu with no open documents fails

Hi, I got excited when I found that when you closed the last document in OpenOffice.org 643C that OpenOffice.org stayed opened. This small change was probably one of the most required features from an average users point of view. I found that as most people are used to using Word. With Word when the last document is closed word still remains open. This closing of OpenOffice.org was a sore point and had to be worked around by every user. Well done guys. However, I found the feature can cause an unrecoverable error. With no document open select Tools, Options. Click on the + in front of OpenOffice.org, Click on User Data, Click on General, click on Memory and at this point the options stop working. Now click on Okay and you get an unrecoverable error. Great new feature. Pity about the bug. I have full confidence however that this will be corrected. Thanks, Kelvin.
On the bright side, it's not likely to cause much data loss :-) I can't reproduce this with OpenOffice 1.1beta2 on either Linux or WinXP. Guess they've fixed it since the version you tried. Please reopen this issue if you find the problem still happening with the latest beta. Thanks!
jw: cant reproduce with OO1.1rc3 set status to closed fell free to reopen if this pronlem still occurs on your system with the latest office
