Dear team,
I would like to report some problems with OpenOffice 4.1.1.
I am using FreeBSD 10 amd64 (FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p7 #0 amd64) and I am
running xfce 4.10 and . I have installed apache-openoffice-4.1.1 as a
package. I have the following versions of JDK installed:
bootstrap-openjdk-r351880, openjdk-7.65.17,1, openjdk6-b32,1,
openjdk8-8.11.12.
I have found the following issues so far:
1. When I open file in Writer and then I open Calc I get "Due to an
unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed. All your files ...." message. Then
writer is restarted and I am offered to restore my file in Writer.
The same happens when I first open file in Calc.
In general I can open any combination of OpenOffice application that do not
include Calc.
2. When I open file in Writer and do some changes if I try to Save as.. I
get "Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed. All your files ...."
message. Then writer is restarted and I am offered to restore my file in
Writer. The same is in Calc. I have the same issue with 'new file'.
3. In Calc if I try to format a cell from the context menu "format cell" or
from the standard menu I get "Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice
crashed. All your files ...." message.
4. In Calc if I open .xlsx file and try to Save as I get "Due to an
unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed. All your files ...." message.
5. When I open .xls or .ods files in Calc and afterwards if I attempt to
open .xlsx as a second file then Calc crashes with "Due to an unexpected
error, OpenOffice crashed. All your files ...." message.
Sometimes when OpenOffice crashes it does not restart by itself. Then I
discover that there are several instance of it still running (ps axu shows
it) and I have to kill all the instances (see below):

I have had similar problems with OpenOffice 4.0.1.
I tried with libreoffice and I don't have these problems there.
Any help will be appreciated as I would like to stay with OpenOffice.
Please advice if I have to contact someone else.
With best regards,
