"Large" odt plain-text with spread out comments
Hi all,
I have been experiencing this minor bug with LibreOffice Writer for some time
now (I have listed it on the most recent major release, but it was also present
on all versions past 4.0 and on 3.6 also, further back I can not recall).
There is a "two sided" element to the bug, but I am fairly confident both are
coming from the same issue so I will put both in this report.
The fist is this: when editing a large .odt file, which has comments spread out
throughout, only comments in close proximity in file layout to where the cursor
is currently set show up in the navigator until one has scrolled past other
comments.
The example file allows me to produce the bug. The content is a plain-text
rendering of english Wikipedia's "England" article, as of today.
To reproduce bug, follow these steps:
-Open the example file.
-Place cursor on page 1 (anywhere).
-Press F5, and in the "Comments" section (expand if needed) note how many
comments are present, what they are.
-Scroll down to the last page of the document.
-The very last comment I have included in the example file is "Test Comment 2".
Note how this does not show in the navigator, nor any of the intermediate
comments (which are all "Com") and how, as you scroll down, or if you click in
one of the "missing" comments, it appears in the navigator.
The second is this : in similar large odt with coms, when searching for a
comment that is not close to the cursor before having scrolled over said
comment it is unfindable.
Again, this can be reproduced with the example file:
-Open the example file.
-Open search bar (Cmd + F on a Mac).
-Type the text of the very last comment : "Test Comment 2" (non case
sensitive), and hit return.
-Writer reports the text cannot be found, asks if you wish to search from the
beginning, and even if you answer yes, cannot find the text despite its
presence.
-For the sake of checking that other comments are searchable, search for "Test
comment 1", which is on page 1, and should be found with no problem.
-Finally, scroll down to the last page, and search again for "Test Comment 2",
which this time, writer succeeds in finding.
I will make one comment right now to save time: I do not think this is related
to the file "discovery" operation. A simple answer could be: the comments to
not appear in search or navigator because writer has not finished parsing the
file. Even when it has been open for hours, the same behaviour can still be
noted. In the case of the example file, navigator, after the discovering phase,
can still only "see" the comment "Test Comment 1" from page 1, for instance.
Likewise, the search for "Test Comment 2" fails even after the file has been
open for a long period of time, and CPU usage from writer is idle (showing that
the file discovery is done, since otherwise writer uses quite a bit of CPU for
this particular task).
I'm available to answer any questions or to perform other checks if needed.
Thanks for a great product guys!
Regards,
Mark.
