Hi,
sorry for the late answer, saw the report during Debcinf, decided to answer
later and then forgot due to other LO stuff needing done :/

I don't believe so.

Only with copy-paste some html page? That was a recipe for disaster a few
times already.... Or also with "normal" usage?

Hmm. That also was symptoms ("hang") in the above back in the past. You don't
even need to minimize it.

No, it shouldn't. (Had that prelinked ages, ago, though.)
But that's a complete other story :)

I bet there's still a rogue soffice.bin around then? Then of course it
won't open again? (The quickstarter keeps such thing open, too..)
I unfortunately don't have a testing environment to test (need to create
a VM or somesuch) but I honestly doubt this is as severe and grave you
make it look it is... Especially as noone reported it so far the time this
was in unstable and then testing....
