Open Office Calc Stopped Working
Hello, I've been using Open Office for Word Pad and Spreadsheets for more than a year and installed 4.1.2 a long time ago. Yesterday I went t open a spreadsheet that I have been adding to for about two months. All of a sudden I can't open any spreadsheet with Open Office. I reinstalled 4.1.2 but that has made no difference. What do I do next to open my spreadsheets? Thanks, J. Wilkerson

RE: Open office Calc crashing
It need not be the same bug. An SEH Exception: Access Violation usually means that the hardware detected an invalid access. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679329(v=vs.85).aspx. In general, an Access Violation is not recoverable, which is how it shows up as an OpenOffice 4.x.x - Fatal Error. The underlying cause is usually some sort of data violation or pointer error. It can come and go because, although there is a defect, it depends on the memory layout at a given time and it also depends on what the hardware checks are and whether they are enabled. It can well be data dependent and involve what the user is doing and the nature of the document being worked on. These should be treated as crashers. But we must be aware that this is a generic notification and it could have a different root cause from one report to another. Also, they need not be newly-introduced bugs, but ones that simply had not been caught as access violations until the storage allocation of the program changed. Examples that could but would not always trigger this are (1) access to previously- released or unallocated memory, (2) accesses that go off the end of the stack, and (3) reads/writes off the end of something where the storage off that end is not readable by the current process or not writeable as data. When there is no detected access violation, it is likely that something is being silently corrupted. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Andrea Pescetti [mailto:pesce...@apache.org] Sent: Friday, July 17, 2015 09:33 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Cc: binny.ja...@firmusoft.co.in Subject: Re: Open office Calc crashing Binny James wrote: May I know why this coming: I am working in a Windows 8 64 bit I was working with calc Is it this bug? https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125567 It is reported and confirmed only with Impress so far, but your report looks quite similar to it.

OPEN OFFICE BUG---- OPEN OFFICE CALC
FYIyou can pass this on to whoever might be responsible. I could not find any other email for this issue other than forums and it appears to be a bug in the OPEN OFFICE CALC program when using SORT. Recently when I attempted to use AND SORT a whole group of numbers using Calc (spreadsheet), the program seems to confuse the number 8 with the letter B. Thus it was not sorting properly. (Note: Advanced spreadsheet user). Sort did not sort properly as it put a list beginning with* 2 before the 1's* and put the* letter B intermixed with the number 8. * May be something that someone needs to look into. FYIand no response required; just so you can fix it. I was sorting numbers like (but not these exact numbers, ie a series similar to these) 8r939438982fjfj B4005849kdfj458 14kjg94jf22kjjffk 2jdje rui4knfjkk4j5 2233jkfjskljfjj4j4 B588004DKJFLKK4 8Kdfe6444kgfkdl44

To me that does not look like something other applications (like AOO) should use. -Andre But I don't know whether OpenOffice follows that setting or not. I suggest we treat this like an accessibility issue. Some users may have limited finger coordination and accidentally invoke drag drop. But it will be best if we can hook into OS-level accessibility settings for this. For example, we don't have sticky keys support or a setting for determining how fast a pair of clicks must be to be considered a double-click. We rely on the OS for that. If we could do something similar for drag drop that would be great. -Rob On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 8:22 AM, Rob Weir robw...@apache.org wrote: On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 4:26 AM, Andris Vanags [Multistate] andris.van...@multistate.co.uk wrote: Please disable the DRAG AND DROP (probably called a feature but it's really a bug), or put in an option to disable it.

To me that does not look like something other applications (like AOO) should use. I don't think we should set a value there. But if a value is already set there, is there a reason why we should not follow it? Drag drop is across applications as well, e..g, from browser to OpenOffice, as well as intra-app. So it make sense for there to be a system-wide setting for sensitivity. -Rob -Andre But I don't know whether OpenOffice follows that setting or not. I suggest we treat this like an accessibility issue. Some users may have limited finger coordination and accidentally invoke drag drop. But it will be best if we can hook into OS-level accessibility settings for this. For example, we don't have sticky keys support or a setting for determining how fast a pair of clicks must be to be considered a double-click. We rely on the OS for that. If we could do something similar for drag drop that would be great. -Rob On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 8:22 AM, Rob Weir robw...@apache.org wrote: On Fri, Aug 2, 2013 at 4:26 AM, Andris Vanags [Multistate] andris.van...@multistate.co.uk wrote: Please disable the DRAG AND DROP (probably called a feature but it's really a bug), or put in an option to disable it.

Re: Open office Calc
Hi, we are sorry to hear that have this problems but we need some more information to understand what exactly you have done and what's your problem really is. We are always interested to learn how the product or specific functions/features are used by our users. But I can say that we are not aware of this kind of problem until now. It's your free choice to use whatever program you want but I can say that open source software is often in same way developed as commercial or proprietary software. But one difference is that open source is transparent and you can review the code on your own if you are able to do that :-) And in general the best place for user questions and problems is either the users@openoffice mailing list of the user forum (forum.openoffice.org).
