Public bug reported:

Liferea 1.6.6b on Ubuntu 11.10 (using the unity interface) randomly
launches the Libreoffice start center (oosplash.bin) when clicking on
some feed entries.

I've not been able to isolate what the common denominator is. I believe
it has something to do with .png images embedded in the page of an
article being read. When there's an embedded .png image, the Libreoffice
start center launches, but it shouldn't launch at all.

I've made this happen with plugins enabled and disabled, and with
javascript enabled and disabled.

I ran it in debug mode for plugins and got nothing useful. There was
something about java, and java was enabled in my Libreoffice, but
turning that off in Libreoffice didn't make a difference.

Here's an example of one feed/entry that launches the Libreoffice start
center -- but let me offer one caveat; this entry launched the start
center 5 out of 7 times, so even that isn't consistent.

The Digital Reader
Feed: 
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDigitalReader

Entry that launches Libreoffice start center:
http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2011/12/14/first-true-hands-on-videos-of-the-kyobo-ereader-wmirasol-screen/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheDigitalReader+%28The+Digital+Reader%29

or just:
http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2011/12/14/first-true-hands-on-videos-of-the-kyobo-ereader-wmirasol-screen/

So why is Liferea launching Libreoffice for anything, and how do I make
it stop?
