Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

After having written a very large document with OpenOffice Writer with a dozen formulas from the formula editor, suddenly the formulas don't appear in the document. Icons appear with the name "Object XX" where XX is a number instead of the formulas.

Closing all OpenOffice's instances and re-open the document doesn't solve the problem.

The file .odt is 6.81MB.

People upstream says that the problem is solved in the main project.

"This problem has already been reported by several Linux users working with OOo provided by the distributor. Please use OOo downloaded from openoffice.org - there the problem does not occur. Please report this problem to your Linux distributor."

Antonio Sánchez, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the Writer file that demonstrates this problem? Does this issue occur in LibreOffice Writer?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer
