Crash on red squiggly line (was Re: Orca/Magnifier Issues)

[Peter Parente]

Hi Will,

Thanks for opening the OOo bug.

You're right that the crash isn't caused by the red underline
attribute. But there is a problem with using getAttributeRun versus
the older getAttributes in the Text interface. Here's a bug report
with stack trace of the crash in gedit.

We've reverted back to using getAttributes until the newer method is fixed.
