Priority: medium
Bug ID: 69382
Keywords: regression
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN: microsoft's doc and docx formats check
document links during load and save, even if links are
set to manual
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
If .doc or .docx document contains links, i.e. embedded graphics, then trying
to open it in libreoffice checks these external links, even if they are set to
'manual'. As a result, opening a 50 page .doc file with 5 embedded images could
take a few minutes, during which LibreOffice Writer is unresponsive.
Steps to reproduce:
1. create a libreoffice document, embed a few images as manual links from a
temporary web server. save the document as .doc and .odf
2. turn off temporary web server in such a way that libreoffice loses
connection to it, not gets 'resource not found' right away
3. open the .odf document and see it behaves as expected.
4. open the .doc file and see it takes a while to open until links time out.
5. navigate to 'edit - links' in the .doc file, remove them by selecting all
the links and clicking 'break link'.
6. save file and reopen - it reopens fast.
3a: use traffic snooper like wireshark or tcpdump to confirm requests to 3rd
party sites are being made and they are the links specified in 'edit-links' of
the document.
Current behavior:
MS document converter downloads external document links even if links are
specifically have updates set to 'manual'. With broken links and timeouts
document can take a significant amount of time to open (minutes), during which
LO is unresponsive.
Expected behavior:
MS document converter should not attempt to check document links if they are
set to 'manual'.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: unspecified
