Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14204
Cannot import some windows doc, reads forever
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:40:42 UTC
Hard to tell (for me) whether is this an existing bug or not, so please merge accordingly. OOo can't import the doc in the URL, starts reading and goes on forever with 100% cpu. Maybe the doc's braindead, but should not freeze OOo anyway. I'm using the Debianized version.
Works fine for me on Red Hat 8, both with the standard 1.0.1 and with OOo1.1beta1. Can you try downloading non-debianized OpenOffice1.1beta and see if that fixes it for you?
Rather not. It's quite pointless to retrieve 100+ MB just to see that it works with it, without being able to do anything about it. If it isn't a general OOo problem then I consider this bad luck and move on. If you insist I could do it, but what would be its worth (apart from half a day download)?
The document is 243712 bytes, that's not 100MB by any stretch of the imagination. I have reproduced this, both with the 1.0.3 .debs and official 1.0.3.1 tar.gz. I couldn't reproduce with 1.0.2 on Windows so I guess this is new for 1.0.3 and explains why Dan did not see it.
Confirming, target to 1.0.4. P2 (freeze in basic functionality)
Uh, forget my comment "...that's not 100MB by any stretch of the imagination" - I thought you were talking about the document not a new OOo download :) And yes, I did have to go and download 100Mb to reproduce this for you...
Chris, Right. Comment forgotten. [03:30am?] :-) But maybe we're not on the same sized pipe! Some people DL 100MB in 20 seconds. I can't. Thanks for the confirmation!
Reassigned to MRU
MRU->FME: It loops right after the import has finished. Looks like a formatting issue. In 1.0.2 (also known as PP2) this worked, so we should fix it for 1.0.4. In 644/645 this works.
FME->DVO: Loop in SwDoc::AppendRedline().
Also occurred with Mandrake Linux 9.1, Gnome 2.2 - OpenOffice 1.0.2, and 1.0.3. Some documents load, others do not - simply hang.
document loads fine with OO 1.1 RC1 linux build, first 2 pages seem to be formatted correctly, however the following look very strange
I hope everybody try it again with 1.1 Rc4. I cannot get the documents anymore, because it is removed from the server. Hope it is solved in 1.1 Final. Or please send me the doc,with the same subject, so I can test on 1.1 Rc4 Thanks
Not Found The requested URL /site/fomenu/palyazatok/2003/uj/DI.doc was not found on this server. Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) mod_jk2/2.0.2 Server at www.gkm.hu Port 80 can somebody send me please, so I can test it with RC4. Thanks
Created attachment 9474 [details] Testcase for the bug (deleted from original place)
Okay, the bug is fixed because the document loads in v1.1 release. However the loaded document is severely broken (possibly unrelated to this bug), from page3 it doesn't contain the text, only some frames(?) and some formatting. It could be a problem of the winword import filter, if you can confirm the problem please open a bug for it with correct wording... Close this if you think the problem is not related.
utomo > dvo: please confir that this is fixed. and close it if fixed. as reporter comment Thanks ------- Additional Comments From peter gervai 2003-10-09 11:46 PDT ------- Okay, the bug is fixed because the document loads in v1.1 release.
Testing DOC compatibility I tried again to load this file, and realised that in v1.1.0 it still contains _empty text_ from page3 on. Shall I create a new bug on that, can we use this bug with the attachment or something else?
haggai->grin: Thanks for your comments. One of the problems with long issues that mutate over time is that it is very time consuming to read the issue and find the problem itself. It is better to start off a new issue explaining the new problem and leave the hanging problem out (although you could reference this issue just in case it might help someone trying to work out what the problem is). Also, please can you try to reduce the example document to just the parts that contain the problem? The ideal test case would contain just a few words that demonstrate the problem without the rest of the document around it. Resolving this issue as WORKSFORME, since the hanging no longer occurs in 1.1.0
