Thanks for that. Here are some observations: - OOO later can generally be interpreted as 'never' - on the other hand, as the previous change from 8 to 16 bits shows, this is something that will be needed eventually for a professional product - it seems intuitive that in high quality code, size should be set by a parameter, as even 32 bits is unlikely to be the final buffer size To what extent would it be practical to start preparing for the change, so that it was much less significant when eventually attempted? For example, would it be practical to slowly convert the code so that the current 16 bit implementation is based on a parameter? If it was, the amended class and methods could be introduced slowly by all developers as they enhance code for other reasons. It would also allow anyone who was particularly interested in making this change to start preparation for it within the standard code and it may well be that some automation of the changes might be possible. It would also allow experimental 32 bit buffer builds and testing. After some time, regrettably probably several years, the remaining conversion would be much less of a problem, though as mba clearly explained, it would not be insignificant. If nothing is done, the problem can only become harder and harder. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Maybe you should introduce a special StringSize type for any typecasts - it's a pity that you can't ban typecasts entirely, they're a big pain. Then when the size needs to be doubled again, all you have to do is redefine StringType and recompile. And then pray that the same thing doesn't pop up in extensions, that are entirely beyond the control of the developers. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Please don't mix the step from 8 bit characters to 16 bit characters with 16 bit string length vs. 32 bit string length. These are completely different topics and the necessity to do the first conversion is not related to the other one. Of course the String class uses a special type for length and indices. But there is other code that was written in the last 15 years that works with strings and in many places this explicit type is not used. I already thought about a possible way to reduce the effort over time. It's interesting that I had the same idea as you: if everyone who comes across code dealing with Strings has a short look and replaces all usage of unsigned 16 bit variables by the special type xub_StrLen, we could reduce the effort over time. Sounds like something I could try to advertize amongst the developers. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The concept of strlen is so ambiguous that its use cases would benefit from some clarification. Using the helper class suggested above the different use cases could be explicitly differentiated by providing methods such as getStrBufferSize(), getUTF16Count(), getUTF32Count() Finally the concept of strlen should be replaced to an iterator based approach... - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

(at first, sorry for my very bad English) Every week I need to write at least one ata - as renatoyamane said, this is the portuguese word from the latin acta, that is the name of a document where people records the events of an official governmental meeting. Some of the developers and some of the people that follow this thread can think: Why someone would need a paragraph with more than 65535 characters?... My answer is: this is a necessity!!! And, unlike most of you can imagine, there are many people that have this needs!!! Actas (I didn't find the English word either for it, renatoyamane) need to be written in ONE PARAGRAPH, and as someone already said before, this is a RULE. And there are many REASONS to this rule, and one of them is that, as an official and very important document (usually written by governmental or law docs), it is necessary to avoid the possibility of later changes on the formatted text (possibly made by obscure and/or illegal/fraudulent intentions). I am not saying that we need 64 bit long characters... But 32 bit would be perfect!!! Why not using 32 bits? And for those that think that this reason doesn't worth the developer's effort, my answer is: other word processors can handle big paragraphs since dinosaur's era, but unfortunately I need to go to M$ Word to handle my big actas, and I am VERY SAD for having to do this!!! I AM STILL A FAN of OpenOffice, but you developers are forcing to me to go elsewhere, and this makes me MAD!! Come on, guys!!! A 7-years-old issue that is centered in a simple variable (a question of 16 bits to 32 bits migration on a specific feature) doesn't deserves your attention?? This is absurd, unacceptable!! (I know that there is an issue of internal limitation, but why this limitations applies only to OO, and no other word-processor since stone-era? Again, sorry for my bad English. Hope everybody understand my disappointment. And hope we can write actas in Open Office the sooner the better. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

If this would be only a simple variable change we would have done that years ago. Unfortunately this is a huge effort as there is a lot of code that assumes that a paragraph or a text range length fits into 16 bit integer variables. You have to find and change all of them - that's quite a lot of work to do. So please refrain from such statements without actually having studied the code before. Of course huge effort alone never is a reason not to do something. But still there are other things we consider to be more important we can do in the same time frame. This can't be changed by telling us that this is only a central variable to change though we know that this just isn't true. Of course everybody is tempted to think that his/her requirements are the most important ones. But even if you know hundreds or thousands of other users with the same requirement, there may be hundreds or thousands of other users with other requirements that compete with yours for the available development resources. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It is very important to be civil and not appear condescending. I believe this was due to linguistic/cultural differences. mba: This issue looks like one that should be examined by the release team in order to figure out when to tackle (for which OOo release). Can you please give a pointer to the mailing list where we can ask to have this issue considered for a future release? In addition, is it possible to give some high level instructions for an ambitious developer who would try to give it a go and modify the code themselves? This developer should be able to compile OOo; is there a rough guide on which files need changing? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I can imagine he's frustrated. I can also imagine the pain of having to hunt down all references of paragraphs as 16 bit entities, as I recently migrated from Delphi to Lazarus, only to find that my old 16 bit integers were suddenly interpreted as 32 bit longint. That gave rise to an incredibly long list of compiler errors and warnings, and some real bugs with 16 bit data stored on disk interpreted as 32 bits, so I had some overflow there. Meaning to say: good luck with it! Maybe somebody should communicate this problem to the marketing department. It'd be nice if people would be warned about this before they download the package. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To give you (or the ambitious developer reading here) an impression: we use an object of class String to store the text of a paragraph. This class only supports 16 Bit length and indices. [We have another string class that supports 32 Bit, but it is a read-only string class (part of the UNO C++ runtime library).] We could change the String class to support 32 Bit length and indices. But this class is one of the most used classes in OOo, so we had to change code in nearly every library of OOo that does not use the mentioned 32 bit string class exclusively. An alternative: use an own String class just for paragraphs in Writer and see how far it goes. But what should happen if someone selects such paragraph and pastes it into Calc? And what about the code that Writer and Calc or Draw share and that also uses Strings (like e.g. the HTML filter)? Sooner or later we will end up with extending string lengths and indices to 32 Bit all over the place. So yes, we have to change the String class, there is no alternative. Thus we have to investigate all code that touches, passes or reads a string and look for usage of string length and indexing. Can you imagine how much code that is in an office suite? Technically, it would be necessary to change the String class, recompile the code and look for integer cast warnings (as now 32 Bit integers are handed over to calls or assignments that expect 16 Bit integers) and fix them by moving even more code to support 32 Bit integer parameters. It's like throwing stones into the water and follow the waves they create. And here we can only *hope* that nobody has used integer casts or even C style casts to convert arbitrary integer variables to unsigned 16 Bit integers, the type that is used for String length and indices, as then no warning would appear that can point us to a possible problem. So most probably we also had to scan the code for integer casts and C style casts to USHORT etc. and investigate this code. Can you imagine how much work this would be in several million lines of code? At least several months - if we don't do anything else. This is comparable to the switch from 8 Bit characters to 16 Bit characters that we made before we open sourced the code - so we have some data for comparison. And we had much less code 10 years ago... Is this issue worth stopping all other OOo development for several months? Don't you think that most users will think that we are nuts? But that's only engineering. As we can't be sure that we have found and converted all places, we had to make intensive testing with many documents containing huge paragraphs everywhere and apply all possible functions to them. IMHO we can invest our time in other areas with more benefit for the project. It's not impossible, but very, very much work. That's the reason why this issue has got the target later. It's not the last word about it, but it's the status quo. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The difficulty is that the suggestions, particularly the first, add unnecessary complexity and it's not obvious that the extra coding required would be less than doing the job properly. Writer is perfectly capable of handling a document with more than 65534 characters. Why can't a paragraph be paged in and out in an analogous way to a document? That might improve rather than detract from performance. The bottom line is that there are users who need very large paragraphs, whether because of the nature of the document or as an interim step in editing large documents. A 100 page book isn't very long in this context. Hard limits were common in early application software. Later, it was generally accepted that limits should be imposed only by what the hardware can handle. I understand that this may be a very difficult issue to fix within Writer, but it seems inevitable that the limit must be removed one day. A professional product would have this capability. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

For performance reasons it is better to keep paragraphs small, certainly much smaller than 60,000 characters. What about the following solution: Provide an additional paragraph style feature merge with next paragraph. If a paragraph has this style, OOo is allowed to move the paragraph mark when repaginating / refreshing the document so that it always seems to merge into the next paragraph. When documents with large paragraphs are opened, they are automatically split into smaller paragraphs with this paragraph style feature. When saving in Microsoft Word format, the paragraphs can be merged back into a huge paragraph. Alternatively, without a new format: 1. On detecting a very long paragraph approaching the limit, Writer will automatically insert a paragraph break and warn the user that it has done so. 2. To provide an extension or plugin for 'virtual paragraphs'. This program scans through the text in the current section (or selection) and moves all paragraph marks to the end of the nearest line, to give the illusion (when printed) that the document consists of one paragraph. It will check that there is zero extra linefeed before or after the moved paragraph marks. The program will not alter double paragraph marks, or marks between paragraphs with different text styles. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I just had forgotten that we already have been there and that the data loss has been fixed meanwhile. So as long as nobody proves the opposite: there is no data loss anymore and so P3 is enough. In case someone finds a situation where data loss caused by our paragraph limit still occurs: please do it like superm401 and create a separate issue that can be fixed with an earlier target. Fixing the data loss should always be possible without extending the paragraph limit. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

IMHO: 1) Change priority of this bug to P2; 2) Fix problem about data loss if developers can't fix problem about longer paragraph; 3) Change priority of this bug to P3; 4) Fix problem filed in 2003 (longer paragraph). This is not 2 bugs. This is only one bug: - If you write a longer paragraph, data can be lost. Why the hell we need open a new issue to: - Data can be lost if you write a longer paragraph? They are the *SAME*!! What is the root cause? Longer paragraph! If developers can't fix problem about longer paragraph, so do an work-arround to avoid data lost.

If the requirement is about extending the size of paragraphs, it's at best a P3. If the requirement is to avoid data loss in case a paragraph is changed to get over this boundary - well, yes, that would be a P2. If everybody is fine with separating this, we could create a second issue and make that a P2. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

And where to stop can be judged only by reasoning. As our API to work on paragraphs make is necessary that the whole paragraph text fits into one String variable it follows that the maximum length of a String must match the maximum length of a paragraph. Even if I consider changing the length of our UNO API String from 32Bit to 64Bit I don't see a clear benefit of doing so (and the effort and pain doing this change would be huge!). I have my doubts that using 64Bit integers for string length and indices is a good idea as it will influence performance. Handling 64Bit variables on 32Bit computers will result in a considerable slowdown. And what for? 32Bit will give us paragraphs with 4,2 billion characters. Saving this uncompressed will result in a file size of more than 8GB (2 Bytes per character) - only for one paragraph! I don't want to sacrifice performance for the ability to have paragraphs larger than 4 billion characters what very probably never would be needed. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Removing it is desirable but quite some work to do. This is different for the 64Bit case. Even I we assumed that in a few years most computers will use 64Bit machines (I doubt that - at least for everything ourside of the western world) the other drawbacks like loss of UNO API compatibility still remain. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica has 32 volumes and 44 million words, amounting to about 1.4 million words per volume. If we assume that each word is about 10 letters (actually it is less), then a volume of Britannica fits well into a 32-bit size string (about 14 million letters) and we have over 2 million characters to spare. Therefore, a 32-bit size string can fit in a volume of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Considering that the OOo API strings are 32-bit, it would make sense to go for 32-bit. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Why do you want a fixed maximum size for a paragraph in the first place? Why do you want to store a single paragraph in a string? IMHO that whole concept is flawed. I have in the past removed all paragraph marks in Word documents, so that I got a document with one paragraph, of over 64 Kb, and no problem at all. I'm not sure anymore why I needed to do that, only that I did, and that it was very useful. Apparently the programmers of Word didn't need a max length for paragraphs, and if they didn't, then why do you? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=17171 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 8 16:56:24 + 2007 --- Guys, we have to put this in perspective. My point was that 32-bit is just enough for a new limit for the size of a single paragraph. I feel that 32-bit size for a single paragraph is fine. If we try to push for 64-bit, my very good guess is that this issue will get stalled and not resolved in the near future. Since the OOo API for strings uses 32-bit numbers for the size, it appears easier to get 32-bit paragraph sizes. In typesetting terms, it looks like a fringe case to demand from a desktop text editor to handle a single paragraph that consists of more than a volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It looks like a better strategy to focus on getting 32-bit paragraph sizes, because the next option (still 16-bit size but just complain when going over the limit) may not be ideal for the examples shown above. If the string size is 32-bit and you use strings to represent paragraphs, then in order to go to 64-bit paragraph size you need to make too many changes in the program logic, check for regressions, etc, which does not appear to happen. It would make sense to go for 64-bit sizes when the basic data types of OOo are of 64-bit. This might happen in the next years, which would be a more appropriate time to ask for 64-bit paragraphs as well. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The poor developers that later on will work on that issue will have problems to find relevant information in this chat. It's clear that 64KB for a paragraph is not enough and the OOo UNO API already uses 32Bit whereever text is retrieved from a text object (e.g. paragraphs, portions, selections etc.). This is not related to how a paragraph stores its text internally. This way how the text is stored in the implementation is not the problem of this issue. We have an *internal C++ API* that is limited to 16Bit and *this* must be fixed. And the problem is that this API is so widespread in OOo. The *external API* (UNO API) uses 32Bit and this will not be changed without a valid reason. The ability to store the whole Encyclopedia Britannica, the Wikepedia and the whole Google cache into a single paragraph is *not* a valid reason. So please try to add only comments that describe new, currently unknown situations where the 64KB limit bites users (situations that are not described in this issue or its duplicates).

So in case we have reproducable scenarios where either OOo crashes or document content gets lost unnoticed we should be able prevent the disaster and I will make sure that this will be fixed as soon as possible. I'm sorry to disappoint users wanting to work with huge paragraphs, but I can't help. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

On the attached document (LongParagraphIllness.odt), go to page 15 (or last page) and remove the paragraph ending, joining it with the following. The second paragraph (or part of it) is lost with no further notice. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

But as the defect is in some central code (the old tools String class) fixing it would require to change 90% of OOo's code base (wild guess). Even if we agreed on fixing the problem for Writer (and I'm still not doing this) all other developers are concerned as well. It would took several months in nearly all projects to do the change and fix all warnings and bugs that slip in while doing the change. In the meantime nothing else can be done on the code as the risk to run into merge problems is huge. This would be an effective standstill of development for several months. I still don't see that this is judged by the undeniable benefit for a small percentage of the user base. And especially we can't do it now, in the middle of a lot of work that has already started. So the target is still valid as this means that 3.0 is impossible. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

At present, I have to go back to Word in this situation. Plenty of concern about this issue, which as it involves data loss should arguably be P2 rather than P3.

This issue is especially important in academic environment, where authors must follow the rules and simply can't insert paragraph breaks at whim of their wordprocessor. The problem is aggravated by the fact that Writer simply looses data (without Undo) if user attempts to remove extra paragraph break. (Needless to say that our competitors do not have this problem). Upping the priority because our current behavior can cause data loss. Please consider targeting for 2.3.

Unhappyly, OpenOffice.Org have so ignorant employees as you! One more data: ALL law-offices need write atas (I don´t know translate this word to english, but ata is a word from latim ACTA and it means a write record about what was made in meeting) Understand me? This document (acta) need writen in only one paragraph (it´s a rule!), and in most cases this paragraph need more than 65k characters, so is impossible use OpenOffice.Org.

Obviously, the majority of OO's end users are not capable of writing patches - that's what the developers do. Nobody suggested it was easy, but writing an office suite isn't easy either. Looking at some of the features which *are* being given priority, it makes more sense to me that something as fundamental as being able to handle text properly should be among them. Paying someone to provide a patch would defeat one of the major advantages of OO - it's free. If I have to pay money for a word processor not to lose my work, I'd rather spend it on purchasing a commercial package of higher quality. Also, the longer this problem is ignored, the more difficult it will become to change later. 2nd: I think this is rather irrelevant. What percentage of users need Obscure Feature X? A word processor should handle text, as much text as a user wants and in the way the user wants to format it it - everything else is second place. 3rd: However, any attempt to rejoin the split paragraphs results in immediate loss of data, without warning, and without any undo information being saved. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Some friends have problems with this bug, because some documents need to be written in only 1 paragraph and this is impossible with OOo Writer. The problem is still greater when documents writer in MS Office Word are converted to OOo Writer, because when exceeding 65534 characters, the text is eliminated! Please, don't forget this bug! - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
