Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-02-28 15:43:08 UTC 
Steps how to reproduce  with Server Installation of "LibO  4.0.2.0+   -  English UI / German Locale  [Build ID: 01f8d0a1dffce854a66c0f957e81e6df6d361a8)]"  {tinderbox: @6, pull time  2013-02-26 09:45:35} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with newly created user profile ….\LODev\4\

0. Uninstall MathType software if necessary
1. Open  Attachment 75694 [details] for Bug 61178
   > Shows a formula object
2. Double click one of the balls to edit it
   Expected: Edit mode or useful error message "Software not found" or so
   Actual: Message "General OLE error"

Same with Attachment 75624 [details] for Bug 61548, I do not know what kind of OLE object it is.

LibO should show something useful like "OLE object editor software not found" or similar.
