Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58040
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: FILEOPEN: Writer hangs when opening large files.
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: cranberrydoug...@yahoo.com
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.0.beta1
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 71224

701 page test document.
I've had a problems with large files in Writer since the 3.5 series began. In
the 3.5 and 3.6 series, big files take a long time to save, whereas in the 3.4
series and before I never had a problem and the saving process would begin
instantly.
In 4.0.0.0 beta1 the problem seems a bit different: every time a big file is
opened LibreOffice Writer hangs.
Steps to reproduce:
Open attached file.
Expected behavior:
File opening progress bars fill up and then the document can be read and
edited.
Actual behavior:
After the progress bars fill, LibreOffice freezes for up to 40 seconds and is
totally unresponsive.
The attached file "opens" (i.e. the progress bars fill) in about 2 seconds, but
then hangs – LibreOffice goes grey – for 40 seconds. Note that the attached
example is only a 700 page file, and is simply the word "why" repeated; no
fancy formatting at all. Smaller files, like 300 pages ones, still hang for a
bit. When I hit around 500 pages it hangs for the full 40 seconds, though oddly
that's the same for files that are thousands of pages long.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on a ThinkPad T60p, but I also tried this on a friend's
newer Win7 Ultimate desktop. The same thing happens, though the file opens a
bit faster. It still hangs for over 20 seconds (the title bar says "not
responding").
Again, note that there was no problem with these large files in the 3.4 series
and those before it.
For the older 'saving' hang bug:
