Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109050
Impress crashes when switching to another output device via FN+F5
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:45:06 UTC
When running a slideshow on a laptop with two connected output devices (e.g. the laptop screen and another monitor) and switching between these devices via FN+F5 OpenOffice.org Impress crashes.
Have you been asked to send a crash report? Which error id did you receive?

Sorry, could not reproduce the problem. I use the OOO320_m12 official version on an Acer Extensa 5220 with an additional TFT-Monitor attached. Switching with F5 works without problems. Have you been able to send a crash report? Is your graphic crad driver updated?
For your record, your error report has the following id: rj3tgwc Reassigned. @af: anything visible from the stack? Thanks.
I tried to reproduce this on a Desktop PC with two monitors under XP and Windows 7 by activating, deactivating and swapping screens. No crash.
Tried this on another notebook. Again, no crash. This may be a duplicate of issue 103464, after all, and thus already fixed.
It might be unclear from the description, so I clarify this here: The crash does not happen immediately after hitting FN+F5, but when selecting another output device combination.

OOo 3.2.1 is final and released. I set the target of this issue to OOo 3.3. Perhaps the crash can be reproduced to find a fix. Otherwise please retarget this issue again.
I can not reproduce this crash on a system with proper debugging support. I have seen it once on a laptop and from the little information I could get this looks like a driver problem. Blacklisting the particular device (so that its slideshow is not harware accelerated) seems to be our only option. Waiting for the necessary information.
Tried on laptop with win7 on 'AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1569541', no crash, changed screen for presentation several times and restarted slideshow. I could not find any 'FN+F5' functionality at all. Probably not a valid bugreport anymore.
@dkrogh: Do you have the chance to test AOO 4.0.1 (or dev-build of 4.1.0) to see if it is still occurring in your environment? Otherwise I would suggest to close this issue. Thanks.
confirmed with AOO 4.1.0 beta on Windows Vista setup: Acer Laptop 1366x768 external display on VGA port 1280x1024 key to switch displays is Fn + F5 Steps to reproduce: * open a slide * run it (F5) * switch display key down Fn press F5 till other display is selected key up Fn -> Fatal Error Could not create offscreen surface - out of memory!
Created attachment 82844 [details] error message after display switch
What does 'FN+F5' on Acer Laptops? This is probably some special command stuff for screen reconfigure, please specify in more detail (but how to ever reproduce on other systems?).
(In reply to Armin Le Grand from comment #16) > What does 'FN+F5' on Acer Laptops? This is probably some special command > stuff for screen reconfigure, please specify in more detail (but how to ever > reproduce on other systems?). if it helps, colleague has a Toshiba laptop with the same key combination FN+F5 to switch screens. FN+F5 shows an overlay with several available display configurations. Repeated key press lets you switch between these modes, like the ALT+TAB key combination on Windows. For me it shows the modes, Laptop display, Laptop display + Second Display, Second Display, Beamer 600x800, Beamer 1024x786, Laptop display + Second Display (extended desktop) Without a second display it shows only 1 mode and does nothing.
Wikipedia says since Windows 7 "Winkey + P" has a similar functionality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_key#Windows_7
