Bug ID: 146597
Summary: Writer stops responding when a group of shapes is
anchored to character
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The patch for bug #141220 (fix textbox popped out of off-page shape) introduced
a lot of issues in the positioning of groups of shapes to the point that it is
now impossible to maintain flowcharts position in Writer. While I was
investigating the bug #145282, I reproduce this one.
Here, repositioning the group to its anchor hinders the rendering when the
first line or the group is selected. I just cannot display the bottom of the
page. With the safe mode turned off, this document makes the software stop
responding.
This bug does not affect version 7.2.2.2. I guess it appeared in version 7.2.3,
when the patch changed the calculation for the position of groups.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the document named "LibreOffice stops responding".
2. Select either the first line or the group.
3. Trying moving the view to the bottom of the page.
Actual Results:
Writer lags and hangs the view while the group seems to have several ghost
positions. In some cases, Writer stops responding.
Expected Results:
The positioning of the group should not prevent the view, the software should
have a lag-free rendering.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
This bug can also be reproduced on a new document by creating a complex group
anchored to character or paragraph, changing the vertical position "From
bottom" then edit top wrap.
I would be grateful if you could remove the patch corresponding to the bug
#141220 given the many issues it causes: the anchoring of group containing
complex shapes (lines and textboxes) has been messed up badly since it was
added, and my attempts to find a workaround have all failed (I only found more
issues).
