An MSWord Greek-Turkish file with a lot of soft hyphens	none

Description lkaratzas 2003-12-21 15:08:48 UTC

While I was trying to replace 27000 soft hyphens in a 40 page file with nil,
both the Linux and the Windows versions of Oo crashed. The linux version in
particular slowed down progressively and finally took down the OS with it. In
MSWord the same replacement lasted one second and took place without a hitch.
Could this be a memory leak?

HI-MRU: MS-File; Alone the load takes a lot of time. Please analyse.

Comment 3 h.ilter 2004-01-05 09:02:27 UTC

Additional comments from submitter via mail:
The only thing I can add is that the search and replace starts off as if having
a lot of steam and slowly slows down to a crawl and final crash in Linux and to
a message about some kind of memory being insufficient in Windows.

Original Issue is now handed over to SBA (Master of F&R).
Performance on import will be investigated and when necessary file as new issue.

Comment 5 stefan.baltzer 2004-07-19 17:55:30 UTC

SBA->FME: I could reproduce this with 680m45 on Win2000. Please have a look.

Comment 6 stefan.baltzer 2004-07-20 11:51:56 UTC

SBA+FME: Looks like the Undo Stack is getting too big. Not exactly endlessly (=>
no memory leak) but nevertheless far mot e memory than most machines can handle.
Workaround: Set text attributes to "Standard" and make the replacement in
smaller chunks. 
Not broken, target set to OOo later.
Reassigned to Hbrinkm.
