Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

http://lxr.go-oo.org/source/api/offapi/com/sun/star/system/XSystemShellExecute.idl

offapi/com/sun/star/system/XSystemShellExecute.idl

@param aParameter
Specifies a list of space separated parameters. The method does not
validate the given parameters, but only passes it as a parameter to the
specified command.

This should be a list of parameters not a space separated string. Otherwise calling a shell script will return something like this:

1 - "foo bar baz"
2 - ""
3 - ""
@ - "foo bar baz"

instead of what it should:

1 - "foo"
2 - "bar"
3 - "baz"
@ - "foo bar baz"

Chris Cheney, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. This Ubuntu release has reached EOL for Desktops.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Since this bug hasn't been touched in a while and the Incomplete autoclose didn't work, I'm going to close it.

If you can still reproduce on a new version of Ubuntu, please reopen it.
