Priority: medium
Bug ID: 55546
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Long field tooltips crash some Linux systems
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
When hovering the mouse over a field created by an add-in in LibreOffice, the
complete field code for the field is displayed in the tooltip. If the field
code is lengthy, this can result in a very wide tooltip window being created.
Aside from looking ugly, this can cause some Linux systems with certain
graphics drivers (NVidia and nouveau seem to be affected in particular when
using Compiz or Gnome Shell) to hang.
This affects users of the Mendeley Desktop and Zotero reference management
tools which both use field codes to store JSON blobs containing complete
metadata for cited documents.
See the 'Hovering over Zotero citations in LibreOffice makes Compiz and Gnome
Shell crash' section at
