Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17373
Inserting a CALC spreadsheet with chart crashes OOo
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
I created Calc sheet with data. Saved and closed sheet. Created Writer document and did Insert> Object> OLE Object...> I selected to Insert OpenOffice.org 1.1 Spreadsheet and selected "Create from File" then browsed to the saved file. Clicked OK. Data was inserted correctly. When I double clicked on the OLE object in Writer, the display showed the spreadsheet oblect then OpenOffice locked up. Win 2000 stated program was not responding and I clicked "End Now". This shut down Writer and Quickstarter. This has happened during 4 attempts. Some of the attempts also when I updated the spreadsheet the corresponding Write document was not updated. Thank you for the chance to help OpenOffice improve. John McAtee jlm40@psu.edu
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem. Please try using the latest OpenOffice 1.1 Final , you can download it from www.openoffice.org many bug fixes and enhancements since your version and 1.1 Final . If the problem still happend in 1.1 please report back It maybe not yet solve your Issue, but it worth to try.
Hi John, I can not see any relation to DDE in your reports, it seems you had a OLE problem, and so I tested that and made the summary more meaningful. If you really had a DDE- Problem, please head UTOMO's advice for a _new_ issue. I attached a testkit with error report. I checked with 1.1.0 German version WIN98SE: 645m19(Build8693) Steps to reproduce: 1. Unzip testkit 2. Open 'testtext1.sxw' 3. pt cursor between textlines 4. Menu: "Insert - Object - OLE" 5. Select "From File" 6. Select attached file 'Defect_Statistic.sxc' 7. OK Expected: Spreadsheet should be inserted "somehow" Actual: OOo hangs / crashes (pls see attached bug report as .sxw The writer document is destroyed forever, I was not able to open it (please try 'testtext.sxw' Of course the question is, for what it might be useful to insert a document like 'Defect_Statistic.sxc', but our religion must be "OOo never crashes", and so this is serious. I will additionally check a "normal" small spreadsheet. Rainer
Created attachment 10972 [details] Testkit with which you can try to reproduce the Problem
I also tried another spreadsheet, much to big for 1 writer page, but with contents only in sheet 1 and without chart. This spreadsheet did not cause any problems, when I inserted in as described in my step by step instruction. Until now we can not be sure that really the chart in the spreadsheet causes the problem. John, if this is "your" problem, may be you would like to vote for it? May be "framework" would be a better component? Rainer -> Utomo: statistics does not look so bad, doesn't it? ;-) Rainer
HI->MRU: Maybe dublicate as Crashreporter which you have in process.
For the testkit I can say definitively that the problem disappears if you use 'Defect_Statistic.sxc' after you deleted the chart from it; the problem really seems to be the chart. Rainer
MRU->FME: I can see a different problem... when I create an OLE object from the .sxc in the attached archieve, I get a loop...
