Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 79682
WW8: Loop opening DOC containing many/large tables
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:49 UTC
Hi, as in subject - OO crashes on some doc or xml. There is no easy way to reproduce, but I include docs that halts it. Story: I created a doc file using Microsoft Word 97, then moved it to her Gentoo machine and used it for a while. Although it still was doc, OO handled it perfectly. Yesterday I closed the file, and OO did not manage to open it again.So I opened it in MS, saved as doc again. Still OO hangs. OK, I've saved it as Microsoft Word XML - and the same, OO hangs. So I saved it as RTF - ok, OO opens it. Additionaly I tried Google Apps to open the doc - without luck, but I'm newbie (& was on hurry) on Google Apps so I may have missed sth. Subcomponent: I suspect saving/opening? OS: I tried OO 32/64 bit versions - Gentoo standard ebuild and compiled by me, as well as 32 bit Windows Version. Priority: this is serious - I had to use Microsoft. Without it I would lost my document. OO was completely unusable (I know, I had MS binary format, but later I got also an XML!!) If you got any further questions please do not hesitate contacting me, I will try to provide any feedback. Januszzz ps. Howto attach a file?
Created attachment 46850 [details] File which hangs OO 2.2.1
Created attachment 46851 [details] XML file from MS Word 2003 which hang OO 2.2.1
Files attached.
MRU->FME: open attached doc -> loop the document contains many large tables (~30 pages).
fme->januszzz: Row 26-81 of the last table in this document have their height set to "exactly 0.01cm". This makes Writer choke. I'll attach a 'fixed' version of your bugdoc.
Created attachment 46858 [details] repaired bugdoc
Fine, it works, although I'm not sure if I ever touched rows height. And MS handles the doc perfectly, so I guess Writer has some issues with that. Thanks. Januszzz.
Loop does not occur anymore due to the implementation of some general loop controls in the Writer layout engine, see issue 81146.
I do not understand ? :-) In which version this bug will be RESOLVED? target milestone 2.4? As long as I know my 2.2.1 still hangs on the doc & xml?
fme->januszzz: This has been fixed in cws loopcontrol. This cws is targeted for OOo 2.4 and not yet integrated. You can check the state of this cws here: http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Floopcontrol
OK, no more questions, THANKS!
fme->mru: Ready for QA.
Verified in CWS loopcontrol.
Checked fix in SRC680m235 build.
