Bug ID: 93457
Summary: Linked images oftencause Writer to hang, both edit
mode and print-preview mode
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.0.5 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When a document has linked images, Writer will often hang when trying to
display the relevant page. This occurs whether the images are small or large.
What happens:
On scrolling to a page with a linked image:
• CPU runs very high, often hitting 100%.
• Writer ignores all user input.
• A place-holder for the image is shown with the text, "Read-Error".
• The image repeatedly briefly flashes every second or so, and then returns to
showing the place-holder with "Read-Error".
• With more than one image on the page, the brief flashes will rotate between
the images.
• The only way out of this is to kill LibreOffice.
In edit mode, this is intermittent — restarting LibreOffice sometimes allows it
to work.
In print-preview mode, this happens to me every time, so I cannot use
print-preview at all, a critical loss for me.
I don't know if the size of the document or of the linked images are of any
relevance; my files tend to be quite large.
Workaround:
• Fall back to LibreOffice version 4.4.5.
More information:
• LibreOffice version 5.0.0.5, installed from the DEB downloaded from the
official website
I have tested this on two operating systems:
• Linux Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit
• Windows 7 Home Premium
