------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Feb 16 18:43:31 +0000 2011 ------- In OS where there user can choose components of OpenOffice to install (e.g. Windows, Ubuntu Linux) if user doesn't install "Base" and after running "Writer" try to select "Bibliography database" under "Tools" menu an unexpecteed error occurs resulting in crashing of "Writer" (after that crash an procedure of document recovery is initiate). This bug is reproduced at any rate from 2006 year in OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 (link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131625) to present time. The problem is solved by "Base" component installation, but usual user can be confused and begin to believe that ""Bibliography database" doesn't work at all. There mustn't be crushes under described above conditions instead it is quite well if there will be to check of "Base" component is installation and if it take place to notify user about it (with recommendation of it's installation to be able to use "Bibliography database"). Steps to reproduce: 1. Install OpenOffice without Base (e.g. in Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu) 2. Open Writer 3. Select "Tools" => "Bibliography Database" 4. Writer is crashed --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
