Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11130
OO Writer Locks Up when pasting a whole article copied from Internet Explorer or Mozilla into Writer
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
Writer locks up when I try to paste an article copied from IE Explorer 6 or Mozilla into Writer. The program locked up, so I don't have any attachments. Below, however, are the steps that I took that created the problem. 1. Open either IE or Mozilla to http://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/01/national/02SHUT.html?ei=5006&en=e6134bf089ead52d&ex=1044766800&partner=ALTAVISTA1&pagewanted=print&position=top 2. Highlight the text of the article by left-clicking and selecting all of the text so that it turns blue. 3. Right-click and click copy. 4. Open OO Writer. 5. Right click in the document and click paste. 6. The program starts to import the text and then just locks up. This has happened to me on several occasions with several different web pages. Thank you for all of your hard work! Vaughn L. Reid III
Thank you for using and supporting OOo. Does this problem still exist in 1.0.3.1? Does the crash happen if you cut and "Paste Special" and choose the "Unformatted Text" option?
In response to the email that follows, I have the following follow- up. OO.org 1.1 beta 2 does not lock up when clicking edit, paste special, paste in html format, paste as unformatted text, or paste as html without comments. It also does not appear to lock up when right clicking and clicking paste. The paste special, paste as rich text formatted text option, however, returns the following message, "Requested clipboard format is not available." I tested these functions with several web sites. And OO.org worked well each time. I did notice, however, that sometimes images and inline frames do not copy. Is this an error or just part of the program. Keep up the good work. Vaughn L.

Hi vreid47362, thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice... I tried this with mozilla 1.4 and OpenOffice1.1RC3 on Solaris and Writer loops if you're not pasting in "online Layou" mode... This doesn't happen with any page I only reproduced it using your link, e.g pasting cnn.com worked fine... Unswitching online layout was no problem ... reassigned to fme set status to new set target to OO.o2.0
FME->MCI: Sorry, I could not reproduce this problem with a current SRC680. Could you please verify this?
Q fme: I tried this again using OOO1.1.0 and mozilla 1.5 on Solaris and it works now... set to works for me...
closing...
