Ah, now that is interesting. I am also using an NVidia driver. Though what is it that OpenOffice should be doing that is so low lever/graphics intensive that this should be at all relevant?
We are simply talking about standard forms and GUI widgets, not a graphical application with 3D or extensive low level use of graphics hardware. Now OpenOffice is Java based, as is Eclipse, and I have seen a problem where Eclipse on Ubuntu crashes when scrolling horizontally which was also related to the NVidia driver. Is there something that the java interpreter does specifically with the NVidia driver to trigger this? Now I know I have installed the sun-java5-jre 1.5.0-06-1 package and java-gcj-compat 1.0.56-0ubuntu1.
