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?
