WW6: Writer crashes on importing Autotext from template
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:45 UTC
When importing Autotext from my Normal template, Writer crashes. I have kept - Screenshots of the crash dialogs - VC++ Debug Workspace Options File (if that's any use) I will e-mail these to whoever wants them. I will not be able to send the template file, as it contains some confidential elements. It is a large template! This crash also occured with version 1.0.1.
Created attachment 4909 [details] Zipped up files as detailed in issue.
Is it possible to try other templates, or to isolate what it is about this one that crashes OOO? I have imported quite large autotexts from Word without crashes. The import mechanism gets things wrong, but that's another problem :-)
hi dnorth, thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice... I was able to reproduce it with OO.o1.1RC3 on Solaris and Linux... I'll attach some files... reassigned to cmc@openoffice.org set target to 1.1.1

Indeed, we don't supported reading autotext from winword 6/7 documents like these. But that we explode and crash instead of just not importing them is hardly the correct response. Fixed for 1.1.1 in waterfordfilterteam12.
Retitling
Reopen to reassign
cmc->mru: Working in waterfordfilterteam12
Checked with CWS waterfordfilterteam12.
Fix verified. Will be included in OO 1.1.1. Now an error message will appear, when unsupported format is detected.
Checked fix with srx645m27. Fix will be included in soon upcoming OO 1.1.1.
