Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15649
Many section document problems
Last modified: 2003-11-20 15:41:47 UTC
This document (which contains recipes, feel free to steal!) is 71 pages long with hundreds of sections (the last oneis number 515, but I think there are holes). Anyway, there are a number of problems with this file. After loading the file it acts "freaky" (yeah, great describion, eh?). I'm including a list of observed oddnesses: 1) For a few minutes after loading, scrolling up and down the file is sometimes *very* jerky, with the CPU pegged at 100%. Obviously, there is some sort of recalculation going on. To reproduce: open the document and try to move down using repeated "page down" operations. 2) During this recalculation time, the current page you are currently viewing will change. To reproduce, load the document, go down to page 10 (or somewhere) and stop. Watch the page. Occasionally, it will change. 3) Sometimes the 2 column sections (which contain the recipe ingredients) are missing data. To reproduce, load the document, wait a few minutes for the document to settle down, scroll down until you find a recipe without any ingredients. 4) Sometimes the 2 column sections (which contain the recipe ingredients) do not wrap from one column to the next. To reproduce, load the document, wait a few minutes for the document to settle down, scroll down until you find a recipe in which there is a long list of ingredients in the first column, and nothing in the second. Enter that section, press enter, press backspace. That is how it shold look.

Hi jlapham, thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice... I opened your from word converted document with OOo1.1.0 on Solaris and I think all went fine... Please try our newest version and send a new comment if your problem occurs again... If there's no new comment from you repoting this problem using OOo1.1.0 until 11/12/2003 I assume all is working fine and I will close this Issue then :) reassigned to mci
it works for me...

mci- I installed 1.1.0 under linux (RH9) I am seeing the same problem. I don't know how else to explain it other than the list of issues I mentioned originally. These odd behaviours are not 100% reproducable. Sometimes I need to page up/down through the document to start the repagination process. I also notice now that the bottom lefthand corner of the writer app says "Page XX/66" where XX is whatever page you are currently on. Well, the "66" (total number of pages) occasionly changes to a different number (like 67, 68, 71, 73, then back to 66). It is as though a style is changing, causing the entire document to have to rerender, but slightly different. Ugh. Please try to reproduce this on a linux machine. Maybe it is linux specific? -Jon
Hi jlapham, I opened your document on Solaris using OOo1.1.0... 1) I didn't get a CPU usage of nearly 100%, not even 30%... Are you sure you've got enough RAM in your PC? 2) Yes, that's right, Office needs some time to calculate the Objects, Sections,... and during this time this moves content from page to page... 3) and 4) I didn't find a 2-column-section without content on the right side...
Hi jlapham, I opened your file on Solaris and after some time I got a loop (without 100% CPU usage)... Could you please submit the original file (*.doc-format)? Thanks...
mci- I will attach the original file later tonight when I have access to it. Thanks! (should we change the statis of this bug to something other than "RESOLVED"?)

Hi jlapham, thanks for your Original document... I opened this with OOo1.1.0 , saved it as a *.swx-file and didn't get the scrolling problem again (except for reloading the file)... The *.doc-import has been improved, so this may help... Please try this, too and send a new comment if the problem occurs again...
mci- It certainly is much better after reopening the original .doc file and re-converting to .sxw. I guess we can say this bug is fixed. -JOn
Hi jlapham, thanks for your quick response... I'm going to close this Issue now...
