Hi,
there is critical bug in OO ...in any OO doc right click on spelling
mistake ...... machine will go into zombie and entire machine will hang
till end of time or till you restart .....this problem is not there OO 2
beta
Is there any patch for this ??
That's an old problem, and I'm not sure if the current OOo update fixes it
or not (it may - but I'd already fixed the problem on my original OOo
installation). OOo by default is checking WAY too many spelling
dictionaries when you right click on a misspelled word, and
sucking up about 700 megs or so of RAM.
To fix the problem, do this (as root):
* Go to the /usr/lib/ooo-1.1/share/dict/ooo directory
* Edit this file: dictionary.lst
* Comment out or delete all the lines for languages you don't use. Since
I use US English only, I deleted everything in that file except for these
three lines:
DICT en US en_US
HYPH en US en_US
THES en US th_en_US
