Description jrobiso2 2003-04-09 21:43:04 UTC 
Saving this document, in Open Office 1.0.2 on either Win XP or Linux (2.4.19) 
causes OpenOffice to crash.

Comment 2 jrobiso2 2003-04-09 21:49:23 UTC 
Crashes when trying to save in MS Word (97/2000/XP) format. Both Win 
XP and Linux versions of OO 1.0.2
Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld 2003-04-12 09:44:34 UTC 
Confirm with 1.0.2 german version and WIN98
Writer crashes with message:
Es ist ein nicht behebbarer Fehler aufgetreten.
Alle Modifizierten Dateien wurden jedoch gesichert und können
voraussichtlich beim nächsten Programmstart wiederhergestellt werden.

Stack dump of saving this document as described using OOO1.1beta
Comment 5 dankegel 2003-05-02 07:07:22 UTC 
Considering this document is about Linux on the Desktop
at a Fortune 500 company, I find it ironic that
such a clearly reproducible crash report sat without
attention for three weeks -- possibly sinking the
chances of that company switching to Linux on the Desktop!

The bug happens for me in OpenOffice.org 1.1beta on Linux,
and I've attached a symbolic stack traceback.
Comment 6 ingenstans 2003-05-07 08:14:56 UTC 
I can see that this is an important bug which needs fixing. However, I 
can't confirm it with 644_m11, running under Windows 2000. The 
document saves without crashing. On the other hand, the saved 
document, when reopened in Word, is full of exotic artefacts: 
fragments of German appear in the headlines; the first two pages are 
largely blank and so on and so forth. So there is a filter problem, 
too, whoch caolan ought to know about.

Comment 8 ingenstans 2003-05-07 08:18:15 UTC 
Attachment created showing that 644_m11 can save this under Windows, 
but might as well not have bothered.
Comment 9 ingenstans 2003-05-07 17:41:43 UTC 
and marked confirmed

Comment 12 michael.ruess 2003-05-13 14:34:28 UTC 
MRU->CMC: Let's put our focus on the export crash reported at the top
of the description orgy.
The attached document was originally converted from an MS doc. It
contains many Redlines (which are hidden), also in the Header/footers.
I think that the problem is somewhere in this area.
Comment 13 caolanm 2003-05-13 18:16:13 UTC 
Accepted.
Comment 14 caolanm 2003-05-13 18:37:43 UTC 
Bookmark positions retrieved before revisions are shown, which
invalidates the bookmark cache!, move redline enabling to before any
nodes are accessed. Ack!
Comment 15 dankegel 2003-05-13 19:08:48 UTC 
jrobiso2, please file a separate issue for
each individual problem in the second attachment.
Just pick the top two problems to start with.
Thanks!
Comment 16 jrobiso2 2003-05-13 19:12:07 UTC 
uh....where's the fix? How can I get my grubby little hands on it?
Comment 17 caolanm 2003-05-14 08:47:55 UTC 
The magic change is 
cvs diff -r1.53.50.1 -r1.53.50.2 sw/source/filter/ww8/wrtww8.cxx
Comment 18 caolanm 2003-05-14 16:06:16 UTC 
reopen to reassign
Comment 19 caolanm 2003-05-14 16:08:15 UTC 
cmc->mru: No crash in filterteam06 now, which is the substantive issue.

There are many asserts still. Layout has many "what a guess" and then
the .doc filter has some more non-fatal asserts. I suspect we should
have seperate 2.0 issues for the remaining cosmetic problems with this
document and change handling in general.

Related to issue 12517 ?

Comment 22 michael.ruess 2003-05-16 16:41:01 UTC 
Fix will be included in OO 1.1 RC.
Comment 23 michael.ruess 2003-07-17 12:56:30 UTC
