Correct. That’s the problem ... Therefore, and because our current development focus is 3.6 (and 3.7), while we don’t have infinite developer resources, I fear we have to live with this bug in the 3.5 branch, and just need to encourage people to move on to 3.6.x. (At the moment some people hesitate to update, because there are still some unsolved regressions in 3.6.x, but there is good progress about fixing these regressions, and in my personal experience 3.6.2.1 already works better in most situations than any 3.3.x, 3.4.x or 3.5.x version.) So, RESOLVED/WORKSFORME is not perfect, but realistic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401003 Title: [upstream] Writer hangs indefinitely opening MS Word .doc Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Invalid Status in “abiword” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-proposed/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/401003/+attachment/630609/+files/MS%20Office%20XP%20document.doc && lowriter -nologo MS\ Office\ XP\ document.doc and it opens quickly and successfully. 4) What happens instead is Writer hangs indefinitely.
