Bug ID: 123274
Summary: document with U+10FC00: character in it repeatedly
hangs
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have a document with (what I think is) unicode U+10FC00 characters in it. (A
quick search on the web tells me that this is an invalid character)
The document repeatedly hangs as I navigate past the U+10FC00 characters - on a
Mac, I get the spinning beachball for a minute or so each time I try to move
around, effectively rendering the document unusable.
Explainer for why I have U+10FC00 character in the document in the first place:
The document has text copy pasted from a PDF
https://www.gov.scot/binaries/content/documents/govscot/publications/consultation-paper/2016/11/wild-seaweed-harvesting-strategic-environmental-assessment-environmental-report/documents/00510620-pdf/00510620-pdf/govscot%3Adocument?forceDownload=true
The pasted text is the whole of section 6.1.3, which is a set of 6 or so bullet
points. The U+10FC00 characters are the bullets themselves.
The text was pasted into the LibreOffice document using shift-cmd-v and
selecting Unformatted Text.
Explainer for how I identified the character as U+10FC00:
I've identified the characters as U+10FC00 by pasting the same text into a
wikipedia edit window ... it shows them as 10FC00. (I grant I could be
misleading myself and you if the edit window is really trying to say "you gave
my some junk characters, and I'm giving you a junk character indicator in
return.)
BDD
As a LibreOffice Write user, I wish to be able to
- Paste section 6.1.3 of the above PDF into a write document using shirt-cmd-v
& selecting the unformatted text option
- Use the write document without having to wait for ~1 minute each time I
navigate past the pasted section.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download

2. navigate to section 6.1.3
3. select and copy to clipboard all of 6.1.3
4. open Write document
5. paste-special using cmd-shift-v and selecting unformatted text
Actual Results:
the text copies, but the document hangs when navigating past the text
Expected Results:
the text copies, but the document DOES NOT hang when navigating past the text
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
