Hi,

this is my first post here, so please be forgiving...

I recently switched from 10.04 to 11.04, including a switch from OO to Libreoffice. In OO, I was using an external macro to convert calc to qif files for import in moneydance or gnucash. In LO, I can no longer choose macro security level and therefore cannot use my vital macro. The tools-options-security-macrosecurity button freezes and LO crashes. This seems to be a known bug:

Well, I have the problem under LO 3.3.4 and 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302) (came via PPA today). I am using normal Java 1.6.0_26 and other JAVA stuff works fine as far as I know. In the above threads someone mentions an option --disable mozilla that should be left out. I have absolutely no clue what that means. I would rather not fiddle with any LO-registration files, but if that is the only way, I would need more detailed instructions on how to do that.

Please help!

Seems to me that you already found the "resources" to answer that question at Launchpad, right?

Did you register to launchpad? When you do, (besides reporting ubuntu bugs) you then can "join" the bugs that affect you... If the launchpad team or someone there finds a fix, they should have the details of that fix.

As a member, when you log in, the links to the users profiles (with a way to email them) will appear in/on their names... if you think asking that info "there" is out of context of the problem discussion and resolution... you could then email. Of course, what you asked here does sound pertinent.
