Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17385
Crash in opening a MS Word file including Dropcap
Last modified: 2003-12-22 06:12:24 UTC
1. New a MS Word 2000 file 2. Type any word 3. Select 'Drop Cap...' from Format menu 4. Save the file 5. Open this file using Text Document of OOo1.1 RC 6. Crash
Good details. I can recreate this issue in the Linux version (RC1) too. Following the same steps, an "unrecoverable error" occurs trying to open Word 2000 docs that were created with either Dropped or In Margin formatted text.
Created attachment 8013 [details] zipped strace file
Add crash keyword.
HI->MMAHER: Hi, I've heard from AMA you are responsible for Drop Caps.
MM: I am adding dropcap support to the word filter (currently the filter translates a dropcap into an ordinary frame). I take a look at this at the same time.
This issue seems to have been resolved in RC2. I have tried it on Linux, Solaris and Windows and I could not replicate this problem.
I have also verified on RC2 on W2K. This issue disappears.
MM: This has been verified as no longer being an issue
Removing target from worksforme Issue, to reduce the statistics.
