Ce fix concerne StarOffice 4.0, peut eventuellement depanner dans
d'autres cas
The reason for this problem is related to multi-threading and a signal
while in signal processing. Because PS/2 mouses are generating much more
interrupts than serial ones (and this seems to generate signals to the
application), these systems are more affected to this problem.
By using »gpm -R« and /dev/gpmdata as mouse device for X, StarOffice
will run more stable systems. Another workaround is to use a serial
mouse until a fix is available from Star Division. Star Division now is
able to reproduce this problem in their office and working on a
solution. Lets
hope a patch will be available soon.
