Priority: medium
Bug ID: 70268
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN: a possible defect in accessing an embedded
link to a site that requires authentication
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.2.3 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
Opening a document containing a link to figure from a site that requires
authentication crash / fail to load LibreOffice.
I have observed this for LO version 4.1.2 running under Win7, but I presume
this will also happen under other OSs (e.g. Ubuntu Linux) too:
Steps to reproduce:
1. make new document in writer
2. login to a (secure) website, select a figure and, copy this using (right
click, copy) and insert (paste) this figure into the writer document. This will
create a link to the figure (and will not copoy and paste the figure as such,
which one might expect...). At this stage the figure is displayed correctly.
3. save the writer document in some format (odt, doc, docx) and close Writer.
4. logout from the site the figure was copied from.
5. now use explorer to open the saved document: LibreOffice (writer) will not
open or 'hang', probably it is unable to load the figure.
Current behavior:
I expected the figure itself to be copied into the writer document, but without
any indication or warning, a link was pasted instead. While logged in to the
website it was copied from, the figure is displayed correctly in writer.
After saving the writer document and logging out from the website the figure
was copied from, LibreOffice is unable to open the document with the link (LO
will not open, hangs)
Expected behavior:
While copying the figure into the writer document, the user should be at least
informed that only a link is going to be pasted. In my opinion it would be
better to present the option to choose between a link and the figure itself to
be pasted (although I do see that this might be a bit too confusing for an
occasional user / layman).
After saving the document with the link, logging out and now trying to opne the
document containing the link, LO should open the document and come up with the
message that it cannot access the figure that the link points to, and not
'hang'.
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.2.3 rc
