Hmm, I do not see anything interesting in the strace. In this case, the 
backtrace might be more helpful. You might took some inspiration at 
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:OOo#How_to_get_backtrace

Note that the instructions are for openSUSE. I am not sure where to get the 
debuginfo packages for Ubuntu.

Well, I prefere to solve bugs via bugzilla. The bug is assigned to a 
particular person, so it is clear who is responsible. All details can be 
found on one place, so more developers could cooperate more easily. The bugs 
can be sorted by priorities...

If you think that the bug is in Go-oo, you might report it into the Novell 
bugzilla (temporary used for GO-oo). If you are not sure, you might report it 
into the Ubuntu bugzilla. They will forward it if needed.

I must be blind. I do not see the menu items "note -->insert--note" anywhere.

Could you please describe it in more detailed steps:

1. start oowroter
2. open a test document or write "hello word"
3. open dialog from the main menu "Insert/sadsa" or put mouse after the word
   "hello", press the right mouse button and select "wsqwqw" in the context
   menu

Something like this.

I am sorry but OOo is very complex tool. I think that only few people might 
know every single feature ;-)
