I've found a temporary workaround (out of necessity as I didn't have the option of cancelling the recovery process at any point which lead me in a neverending loop):
delete the ~/openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu This doesn't fix the original bug, merely ensures the recovery dialogue doesn't pop up next time you start any OOo app. This of course assumes that you always save consisntely and do not wish to recover anything. -- weird document recovery attempt of openoffice after fullscreen slideshow with oo presentation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
