Bug ID: 122683
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Calc causes the calling file browser to crash
Product: Calc
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 8
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
This is 64-bit Windows 8, version 6.2, build 9200, running on an AMD A8 4500M
board in an HP Pavilion G6 notebook PC with 8gb of memory. Mouse, not
touchscreen.
Calc version is AOO 341m1, build 9593 Rev 1372282.
I run Calc on .ods files selected from/in their containing folder using the
Windows File Explorer file browser.
If I spend too long editing a file, I find that the file browser window becomes
inaccessible. Hovering anywhere over the browser with the mouse pointer
changes the cursor to the little blue I-am-busy-please-wait ring, but the
browser never becomes available again, and closing it with Task Manager
malfunctions in a very old-fashioned way, preventing the screen and objects
behind the browser from being visually refreshed and becoming active again.
A further instance of the file browser can be opened but the screen gets soooo
messy. The only answer seems to be a re-boot. Now I've not got XP anymore, I
don't actually KNOW how else I could re-start my Windows Desktop display.
I have never seen this happen on my (64-bit AMD Sempron processor) 3gb desktop
PC that's running OO341 on the 32-bit version of Windows 8.
Do you think it might help if I switch to LibreOffice ? The only thing is, I'm
worried that their calculating engine might not be up to the depth of
expression bracketing and nesting I'm running - it's definitely too deep for
.xls.
I could add a PrintScreen dump, but it really would look just like a regular
file browser.
