Bug ID: 161580
Summary: Calc crashing, becoming unresponsive, and corrupting a
spreadsheet while inserting a file into a cell.
EDITING
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.7.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am in the process of migrating to Libre Office from MS Office. So far it has
been going well with Writer and Calc being the apps in scope right now.
I maintain a spreadsheet of significant household purchases and I include a
soft copy of the invoice or receipt for each in purchase inserted into a cell
of each purchase row.
The soft copy files are a mix of JPGs and PDFs. This time I needed to convert
an Outlook email into a saveable format for the spreadsheet and so converted it
to a .HTM file as there were a limited number of choices.
I then discovered the process for inserting a file into Calc worked quite
differently from MS Office. I tried a number of different methods within Calc
to do it, but they twice resulted in Calc crashing (and a dialogue coming up to
submit a bug report). Calc then offered to recover the files I had open and I
clicked Ok to do that. I can't recall all the steps in the process, but Calc
eventually became unresponsive and I had to reboot the laptop.
I opened the spreadsheet in Calc again and found it had lost all the previously
inserted JPGs and PDFs. Excel confirmed this. Thankfully I was able to recover
my corrupted spreadsheet from backup.
I went back to Excel and inserted the .HTM file as required and it all worked
normally. Calc can now open the spreadsheet and I can view the newly inserted
.HMT file.
This was a real shock to have an office app crash so badly and corrupt data in
the process. What happened here???
