I am using RedHat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.17). When I highlight about 20 or so rows in my spreadsheet it crashes. i have a screenshot of the error but do not kow how to attach it. I am kinda new to OpenOffice and reporting bugs so if this is totally inadaqate or something that is already known (i tried searching the database first) I apologize. Please feel free to contact me if more info is needed. I would really like to help ya'll get this thing rockin. thanks, mmark@psysolutions.com

Hi, I can't reproduce your problem so I need some more info: Does the crash always occurs (e.g. with a new made spreadsheet) or only with a special spreadsheet? If it's a general problem it could be a problem of XFree 4.1.x. To verify, please do the following: (0. Close OOo if open.) 1. Edit the file <officepath>/programm/soffice 2. Search for the line: #SAL_ANTIALIAS_DISABLE=true; export SAL_ANTIALIAS_DISABLE 3. Delete the # in this line. 4. Save the file. 5. Start OOo. 6. Now try to reproduce the issue. What happens? Thanks and bye, Oliver
I tried what you said about removing the # from the soffice file and this fixed the problem. It also fixed a couple of problems I was having with the word editor with font selection crashing the document and not printing correctly. Thanks, -russ
Looks like this one could be closed. Flame me if I was wrong. Best regards, Peter
