I have the same issue, when dealing with linked images. It seems the Slide sidebar takes 100% cpu when recreating the slide thumbnails, and soon after the whole OOo Impress crashes.
I was able to open the document once and disabling the Slides sidebar and got no crashes while working on the presentation, but after I re- opened the sidebar, the program crashed. -- Drag & drop pictures into OpenOffice Impress -> crash https://launchpad.net/bugs/43721 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
