OpenOffice 3.0.0.9 frequently crashes when working with text files that contain radio check boxes in a table. OpenOffice’s attempt at recovery sets up an infinate loop. That is, it attempts to recover, and crashes during the recovery. Hence, it never gets to the point of editing the file. The crash typically occurs when enabling or disabling the design mode.
Opening the text editor plays havoac with the KDE4 plasma screen. For example, the clock on the lower right-hand corner disappears.
