Priority: medium
Bug ID: 59822
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Editing Crash lockup
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: wa4...@yahoo.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.3.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
I have a large document file that consistently crashes Writer. I have tested
it with all available versions of Open Office Writer and LibreOffice Writer,
including the latest 4.0 Beta. I use a Mac under Snow Leopard, but it exhibits
the same behavior with a PC running Vista/Win7 as well.
The file is a large manuscript with lots of inserts, text boxes, photos, etc.
I have obfuscated the file a bit and placed it on my public Dropbox folder at:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11336636/Gregory%20Family%20Origins%20-%20Submission.odt
Warning, it is a big file, about 100 MB.
The problem is similar to, and likely related to a problem I previously
reported as bug 56963 for LibreOffice Writer, but has some subtle differences
and seems to be related to a specific page in the document which contains
numerous pictures. Where 56963 crashed only on the Update ALL function, this
lockup/crash occurs when simply displaying the afflicted page.
To reproduce the problem, open the file in Writer. Open the Navigator, open
"Graphics" and select the "Elias Snedegar Tombstone" and navigate to the page
containing that image. The page contains a total of 9 small photos with
captions. All that is necessary is to move around the page a bit, maybe select
a caption frame, etc. It is not necessary to actually edit or modify anything,
all that needs happen is for Writer to move around the page a bit. Within a
few seconds it will lock up and become unresponsive. I have left it sitting
overnight and it has never recovered. It will usually crash if left a few
hours.
I have opened the XML and examined the area both by eye and with XMLlint and
cannot identify any XML error that might be provoking the problem. As far as I
can tell, the provocation is related merely to the number of pictures on the
page, although I am experimenting with recreating the issue with a smaller
document to verify that...
This problem has completely stopped my project as I am unable to find a
workaround that will allow me to continue to edit the file.
