Package: openoffice.org-writer Version: 2.3.1-1 Issue 81789 (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81789)has been fixed in Openoffice 2.3.1 (see Release Notes) and I have indeed checked it is fixed in the official deb version distributed on the Openoffice.org website. However, the bug is not fixed in Debian (I tested it in Debian Lenny with Openoffice.org 2.3.1 packages from Sid installed).
To recall the bug : OpenOffice.org Writer becomes *very slow* with documents that contain embedded graphical objects. To reproduce : open Draw and create a big drawing with some squares, circles, etc. Then copy it and paste it into a Writer document with some pages. Then save and reopen. When scrolling the document pages, Openoffice becomes *very slow* when scrolling the drawing. The bug was in 2.3.0, and is not anymore in the official 2.3.1. But it is still there in Debian. This is a very annoying bug... Best regards, RB
