Re: [libreoffice-users] ver. 4.2 copy/paste bug - update

UPDATE:

To recap - the dev version you refer me to below is for Windows. I run 
Kubuntu Linux 13.11.

So I located and installed the 
LibreOfficeDev_4.3.0.0.alpha0_Linux_x86_deb package - the only 32 bit 
package I could find that looked like it might be the Linux equivalent 
of the version you referred me to.

Initially, I could figure out how to launch it (one uses 
libreofficedev4.3, not libreoffice4.3), but I got that figured out this 
morning.

Sadly, there's no fix of my problem, plus I seem to have some alpha 
version bugs to deal with. I've had 3 crashes so far, but am making 
progress. However, all this noise is hardly productive for me, and I 
have to be productive, so I'm returning to 4.2.1.1, for which I at least 
have a workaround for my "vector::_M_range_check" problem.

If there's some other package I should have installed, let me know and 
I'll try it, but right now it looks like this issue isn't even on 
anyone's radar.
