Bug ID: 146054
Summary: LibreOffice writer keeps processing Zotero citation
for hours.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.6.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Using 5.0.97-beta.57+07df7d0de and
LibreOffice writer Version: 7.0.6.2 Build ID: 00(Build:2)
on Linux Mint pc: 32GB RAM
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI: en-US
There are over 1,000 citations in the document (mostly in footnotes) and
several thousand items in my Zotero library.
I am trying to insert a Chicago note citation in footnote 535 (of 725).
The Zotero dialog "Quick format Citation" keeps scrolling - currently for over
3hrs.
Yesterday I made the mistake of clicking "Refresh" and Zotero appeared to be
doing so, but this morning it seemed to be still working (about 12 hours
later). Right-clicking on LibreOffice icon gave the "not responding" message,
so I closed and recovered it. Now the citation is taking forever.
LibreOffice is using approx. 4GB RAM and 12% CPU; Zotero: 2.3GB RAM, 0% CPU.
Do I need to wait and see what happens for another few hours, or is there some
process that I can safely terminate?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Ctrl+A to use Zotero to add Chicago note citation to LibreOffice
document
2. Select item from Zotero pop-up dialog
3. Press Enter.
Actual Results:
Zotero "Quick format Citation" continues scrolling for hours.
Expected Results:
The citation should be entered into the footnote and the Zotero dialog should
disappear. The document should then be able to be edited further and saved.
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
Version: 7.0.6.2
Build ID: 00(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-NZ (en_NZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.0.6-0ubuntu0.20.04.1_lo1
Calc: threaded
Note that, while this Zotero dialog appears to be interacting with LibreOffice
writer for hours, Zotero is using zero % of CPU, while LibreOffice is using 12%
of CPU.
This appears to indicate that, if there is a bug, it may be in LibreOffice.
However, other Zotero users report very slow insertion of citations under some
circumstances in Word on Mac. None appear to have to wait hours, though.
