This bug affects me too! Same behavior. You should consider that this is a DATA LOSS bug, just because every time the pc freezes I lost all my work not yet saved. So the importance should be set to high. By the way a bug that causes a system freeze can't be considered "low importance" just because the final user can't trust the distro anymore. I'm very upset with this because I use Ubuntu at job and it's not nice to waste job time. I tried to disable the "use anti-alias" option in Options -> general -> view-> menu in libreoffice BUT this causes Libreoffice writer to freeze the entire system just after it was launched (after the splash screen disappears and when you are prompted to type something in the blank page). So probably it's a graphic driver problem. I have a nvidia 8500GT and I use nouveau driver. Hardware acceleration is enabled (gallium 0.4 on NV86). Tell me if I can be more useful and thank you in advance for your precious work on free software

Impossible to connect to a tty session to kill Xorg. A physical reboot is necessary. Note that I used LibreOffice Calc without problem. The problem has been encountered also under Fedora 21: http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=63428 The solution proposed on this french forum is to replace the "nouveau" driver by the "nvidia" proprietary driver (340.76).
