            Bug ID: 90052
           Summary: Libreoffice might hang when inserting text in narrow
                    Writer table cell
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: oystein.rei...@uni.no

I had problems with inserting new text in a table cell. I hope you can
reproduce the problem with the following procedure:

Make a table.

Fill in a cell with a value of a few tens of characters.

Make the cell's column very narrow, say half an inch wide. The strings and
words of the value will break across lines.

Look at the places where words break. A word will break, of course, when
there's not sufficient room for the next character. There might be a little bit
of space, but not enough.

Try to find a place where this little bit of space is as narrow as possible.

Click at that narrow space. The caret might appear, as it should. Then try to
key in a character. Now Libreoffice might hang.

Or the caret might not show, Libreoffice having hanged already.

If Libreoffice doesn't hang, adjust the cell width to find an even narrower
space at a word break, and try again.

All of Libreoffice hangs - not just Writer and the current document. Other
applications might also be affected.

When it hangs I can see in my System Monitor one processor running at 100%.

I have tried it on one computer only, with

Version: 4.2.7.2
Build ID: 420m0(Build:2)

Linux Mint 17 Qiana
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
