Priority: medium
Bug ID: 80715
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Writer Search and Replace, System Crash
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.4.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
I am using Writer 4.2.4.2 in US English under Linux Mint 17 on a fast PC with
4GB of RAM to reformat a downloaded .odt file of about half a megabyte. I tried
to do a simple search and replace to convert the carriage returns at the end of
each line into spaces (a total of about 5000 replacements). As soon as the
change has taken place (and is visible), an error message appears telling me
that Writer can’t do the replacements unless I turn off Undo first---although I
can see the changed file. No matter how I reply (Yes, No, or Cancel), the
screen freezes entirely and I can’t do anything to save the changes. No forced
quit works; I have to turn the computer off manually and recover the file
(without the changes). For some curious reason, accessing the help file doesn’t
explain how to turn Undo off.
My purpose was to reformat a Project Gutenberg book, which has CR's at the end
of every line, so that the lines wrap. I first did a search for two CR's, which
mark a paragraph, replacing them with a #, which could later be changed back to
a paragraph mark.
I am attaching the file, which is at the point where I changed the double CR's
to #, and manually changed the single CR's to spaces for the first five pages.
