        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Several OpenOffice apps run on Windows 2008 R2 Server
                    via Microsoft Remote Desktop cause Ms RDP 8 client for
                    OS X to crash

MS RDP error and crash report

When I try to use OpenOffice 4.0.1 installed on a Windows Server via the Ms
Remote Desktop Client version 8 for OS X, the Ms RDP client crashes and even if
I try to reestablish the connection it freezes and there's a never-ending
series of crashes. The only way to have the connection working again is to
close the OpenOffice application (most cases CALC) from the Server phisically,
no other way out.

Same issue here as the OP. I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.2 and Microsoft Remote
Desktop 8.0.24308 (v8.0.3 in app store) connecting to Windows Server 2008R2.
As soon as Open Office Writer application or the Open Office application
(v4.0.1) opens it crashes the session and I have to log in with Remote Desktop
Connection under a Windows machine to close the application. If the application
is minimised, there is no problem, but when I open the application, it crashes.
If I attempt to log on with Microsoft Remote Desktop (under OS X) after the
session crash, the Microsoft Remote Desktop immediately crashes.
As others have reported on the Microsoft social.technet site, if I set
Microsoft Remote Desktop to make the connection at 8 bits, there is no problem
except for the ugliness of the screen ;-)
There is no warning or error in the Event logs of the server I could find. I am
connecting as an administrator.
I am happy to do some followup testing/provide input if someone as some
suggestions. Initial part of crash report from Remote Desktop below. I am not
sure if this is a Microsoft or Open Office issue, but it does not occur with
the Windows remote desktop client.

Regards,
Malcolm

This is definitely happening. Every time I open OpenOffice or attempt to log on
to an MS remote client with OpenOffice already open, Remote Desktop crashes
with a fairly serious EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) error message.

I believe that I have isolated the issue to a problem between OpenOffice and
RDPClip.exe.

My understanding is that Windows uses RDPClip.exe to manage synchronization of
the clipboard between the client and the RDP session.  Both OpenOffice and
LibreOffice seem to have some problem with the way that RDPClip works.  In my
research, they are other applications that have similar problems... so this is
not a problem exclusive to Openoffice.

RDPClip runs ONLY WHEN you enable clipboard redirection, so the easy workaround
is to disable clipboard redirection either on the server (affecting all RDP
sessions to that connection) or within the RDP client application (where you
can change the setting client-by-client).

This workaround has been effective for my systems, using Windows Server 2008 R2
and Ubuntu 12.04 LTSP clients.

If you want to confirm this is your problem, wait until next time you have a
freeze-up and OpenOffice won't restart without freezing again.  Next, simply go
into the task manager and kill RDPclip.   If this is your problem, OpenOffice
should now restart properly, without immediately freezing.

Some success... May not be an issue with Open Office.

It seems to be a combination of a user and the "My Desktop" entries under
Microsoft Remote Desktop client v8. I found a user that could open Open Office
without crashing MS Remote Desktop.
Entries look exactly the same if opened under Edit.

I created a new entry under MS Remote Desktop v8.0.5 and worked for users that
didn't work before.

It is possible that there was a bug that caused a not-visible change/corruption
in the My Desktop entries. I recommend people try creating new entries.

I created a new "My Desktop" entry and changed *only* the connection IP:port ,
Domain\user for user name and the resolution to 1024 x 786. Then I opened the
session, logged in and I could open Open Office on the desktop!
