I'm so used to Forum, where these details are in one's sig. I'm running Xubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) on 2 core AMD 4GB RAM. It's not a serious problem for me, as my Ctrl S fingers twitch automatically after every edit. I don't think it need be flagged as a show-stopper. When the hang happens the CPU goes to 100% (probably one entire core). I will willingly run any diagnostic version of OO 4.1, if required. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
